We had a wonderful tour @ Montserrat. Our guide Laiya was great, knowledgeable and kept the tour on schedule. She explained everything beautifully, her passion for art was so evident and we had a good tour with her. She was caring and answered my 8 year olds questions patiently. Thank you for a lovely time together. Special thanks to our driver Bogdon for a safe and quick drive. The monastery and surrounding area is breathtaking.
The tour was fantastic. Our guide was knowledgeable and very passionate about providing the best experience. Another plus was the length of the tour was perfect.
Wow! What an incredible experience this was Beautiful town in the mountains. A must see is the cathedral.
Really nice experience overall. The transfer was smooth, the group size was comfortable, and the guide explained everything clearly without rushing. Montserrat is impressive, and having everything organized made the visit easy and stress free. A good option if you want to visit without worrying about logistics.
Everything was very well organized, and the small group made it feel relaxed and personal. Visiting the Basilica and seeing the Moreneta was truly special. The transport was smooth and comfortable, and our guide was knowledgeable and engaging. A great way to experience Montserrat without any stress — highly recommended!
An unforgettable day for us as a couple! We learned so much about how Lambrusco, Parmesan and Balsamic are crafted. The Lambrusco tasting was fun, and lunch was a real treat. Everything was perfectly organized, and our guide Stefania made the experience both educational and entertaining. Everything well organized!
Our guide was really good and professional. Good explanation and a lot of alternatives given on this rainy day in Barcelona. Would be good if the company could offer another day since you can’t really see much on a rainy day at the monserrat
The tour was a great experience overall, made even better by our guide, Nestor, who was very kind and attentive. I didn’t have cash to buy a candle to light at Montserrat, and Nestor kindly bought one for me. He also went out of his way to buy a small souvenir for everyone on the tour, which was a really thoughtful gesture. The afternoon tour included entrance to the Basilica and the Black Madonna, which was excellent. However, the free time was limited to about an hour, which wasn’t quite enough to explore other activities such as the museum or the funicular. Overall, it was a good tour with a knowledgeable and generous guide, and I would recommend it—especially for those who want a well-organized visit with a great guide.
We had such a blast today! Pick up was easy and our guide was kind and so knowledgeable. Montserrat itself is majestic.
Nearly 4 perfect hours with free time to enjoy Montserrat. Nestor was an excellent guide. Small group of 7 in a comfy minivan, full of history and details. Thank you Tours and the City, clearly one of our favorite brand (we will comeback)!
Montserrat is absolutely breathtaking, and our guide made the visit even better. Big thanks to Toni, who was so patient with our group and answered all our questions. We really enjoyed the trip!
From the stunning mountains to the fascinating monastery, this tour was perfect. Our guide’s knowledge and enthusiasm made it a highlight of our trip!
If you are visiting Barcelona, Montserrat is an absolute must. While you can go on your own, I highly recommend booking a guided tour. Our guide was amazing and incredibly knowledgeable, hearing the whole story and the history behind the monastery made the visit so much more meaningful. The guide’s energy really made the group enjoy every minute. The group was small, less than 10 people, so it was easy to follow and felt very personalised. The views are absolutely insane! Pictures don’t do it justice. 10/10 worth it!
We absolutely recommend this tour. The place is incredible and the agency was very well organized and helpful. Nestor was a fantastic guide, fun and attentive throughout. We even ask him to take our friends the day after! Super helpful 🎄❤️
Amazing Montserrat experience! We visited on our own few year ago, yet with a guide it is totally different - thank you Nèstor! Note that some walking is necessary once there. Great views, and deep history from Nestor. Very impressive!
Great experience from beginning to end. Clear communication, flexible planning, and an amazing place to visit. The guide was amazing - he made part of the magic!
We highly recommend this tour. Montserrat is stunning and everything was very well organized. The team was friendly and flexible, and Carla was a fantastic guide. We would comeback!! This place is magic
Knowledgeable guide - trip was good This was 7 customers - however the van was too cramped - would have been better if van was little bigger
This tour is a must-do! Amazing location, great communication from the agency, and a flexible, friendly experience. Richard was an awesome guide who kept everything fun.
Perfect duration, almost 4 very complete hours with free time. Carla was great. Comfortable minivan, 7 people, and fascinating monastery history explained clearly.
One of the best tours we did. The place is incredible, the organization was smooth, and the team very kind. Richard was an excellent guide, always keeping a great vibe.
We recommend this tour to everyone! Not only the place is amazing, but the agency and the guide were super nice - always informing about every details before the tour and flexible all times! Richard, our guide, was great always ensuring the fun!
Very complete Montserrat tour, nearly 4 hours long with free time (although we were with the gudie at all time and he as always answering our quesitons). Richard shared rich history of the monastery. Comfy minivan.
Highly recommended! Montserrat is stunning and the organization was excellent. The team shared all details in advance and was very flexible with changes - my wife and I were very thankful and had so much fun! Also, Richard made the tour smooth!
Amazing experience in Montserrat. 4:30 hours, very complete and well paced. Richard explained the monastery history brilliantly. He is also very funny (thank you Richard) Minivan was super comfy, group of 7.
Loved this Montserrat tour. Perfect length and also with free time. Carla shared great stories and details. Small group and very comfortable ride. 100% recommended!!!
Visiting Montserrat was an unforgettable experience and easily one of the highlights of our trip. The tour felt immersive and thoughtfully organized, with a perfect balance between discovery, learning, and enjoyment. Everything was explained in a clear and engaging way, making the place come alive beyond just the scenery.
Such a great guided tour offered by Toni at Montserrat, which is a beautiful landscape. Our driver was very kind and everything was very well organized
Amazing guided tour at Montserrat, with private van for our family of 4 from Barcelona, it was a lovely visit of Montserrat with our guide Toni!
Amaaazing tour! So happy how all the experience was organized and given - thank you Tours and the City! The tour was a very enjoyable and well-organized experience. The 4:30-hour visit flew by thanks to the fun, learning-focused atmosphere. With just 7 people in the group, everything felt relaxed and easy to follow. Nestor stood out as a guide, amazingly knowledgeable and attentive, always taking time to explain details and answer every question. A memorable and rewarding tour.
We had a great half-day Montserrat tour with Richard that lasted about 4.5 hours, which felt just right. The small group of 6 people made it personal and easy to enjoy. The atmosphere was fun and full of learning, and the admission fee was definitely worth it. Richard was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable, engaging, and entertaining. Highly recommended.
I would have been lost without the great support of the company! the day before the tour they sent me all the necessary info and they helped me a lot on the day of the tour to find the correct meeting point, thank you so much I'll make sure to book with you again!
Our tour was amazing, mainly thanks to the excellent customer service. Everything was perfectly organized, and our guide made sure everyone felt comfortable and answered all our questions. A smooth, stress-free experience we truly appreciated!
Everything was perfect and well organized, I would recommend this tour to anyone interested in great day trip. Don’t hesitate to book this tour if you want to visit Montserrat!!
We had an amazing experience on this tour! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and shared fascinating stories about the monastery, the history, and the surrounding landscape. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and the pace of the tour was perfect for taking it all in. We felt comfortable and well cared for the entire time, and the small group made the experience even more enjoyable. This tour was a highlight of our trip to Spain, we highly recommend it for couples looking for a memorable and enriching experience!
Great Toni! What a nice experience that made us live in Barcelona, departure from Plaza espana with private Van was just the 6 of us! The day has flown and we can only recommend this experience to everyone who has a day in Barcelona, it is really worth discovering what is beyond the Sagrada Familia and park guell, montserrat must be absolutely visited!
Beautiful experience well organized from Barcelona with our guide Toni; I tour and in English even if he speaks a little Italian. Montserrat is a special place; definitely worth a visit if you have a free day in Barcelona!
Fantastic tour with Tony! The van was clean and very comfortable, all well organized and engaging, we really enjoyed it, highly recommended!
The visit to Montserrat was a really special experience and very well taken care of in all the details. From the first moment, with the shuttle service, and following with the guide. the tour was close and dynamic. The great value of the tour was Richard, an incredibly prepared and passionate guide. It brought Montserrat's history, culture and meaning to life. It was not only a visit, but an authentic and highly recommended experience.
Fantastic experience with Toni! Montserrat is really a special place, lost in the Catalan mountains just 45 min, we really spent a beautiful Day visiting the cathedral es we learned a lot, beautiful day and great service!
Beautiful tour with our guide Toni, very well organized tour was the two of us and two other couples, total of 8 people, great price and really good organization! Beautiful Montserrat
Wonderful city tour! Organized with care and to be redone absolutely even with a group of friends! I recommend this agency
