Great hike and tour of Montserrat! - Bernat was a wonderful guide and we had a fun group of 7 (US, UK, New Zealand, Portugal) of all different ages (20s -60s). The trip left on time from Barcelona at 8 am on a Sunday and there was no traffic on the way up to Monserrat. We took an 8 person van and it was very comfortable (a/c was not the best but otherwise just fine). The hike and views are unbelievable - Bernat was knowledgable and not shy about offering his opinions on anything you asked. He knew a lot about the ecology of the area and knew the trails extremely well. He made sure the group stayed together and stopped along the way to add to our knowledge of the mountain. A great way to spend a day—we returned around 2:45 pm. Highly recommended! Some reminders—pack a lunch, pack water (enough for a good hike), wear proper shoes (some of the hike is concrete path but other parts are dirt and stone trail) close toed hiking or sneakers with good grip are important, wear a hat and sunscreen if you need it and bring sunglasses. It is hot and exposed to the sun for probably half the hike. I have hiked many places and I would consider this a moderate 5 mile (total) hike. I would very much recommend this or any other adventure with this group!

Fantastic experience with breathtaking views - Bernard was a fantastic host with great energy, knowledge and passion for his work. He has lots of information to share and clearly had an amazing understanding of the area, feel free to ask him as many questions as possible! Great company, everything was as described and I couldn't be happier, I will definitely be using them again. 11/10

Wonderful experience - We had an excellent hiking experience with Bernard, our guide. He was so passionate about nature and the history of Catalunya. He was very considerate about all in the group, non-judgmental and accommodating. The tour was well-timed and organized. I highly recommend this tour.

Truly Great Excursion! - Our guide Ramone was fantastic. Our tour commute was efficient and informative. Montserrat was stunning. While the history and legends were special, the hike was a wonderful highlight for our trip so far. Such a great diversion from city touring. Going off the beaten path was a perfect escape. We took in the beautiful sights while he taught us about the local geography as well as vegetation, not to mention we saw a mountain goat! Oh - by the way, the snacks provided were delicious! Thank you Ramino, your positive attitude and passion for sharing your knowledge and culture made the day so special!

Fantastic small tour, perfect for hikers! - Ramon was an incredible tour guide, he was knowledgeable and thoughtful. The monastery was beautiful, but the hike (about 3.5 miles) was the best part. We had great views of the monastery, but also Barcelona and every direction of the valleys surrounding Montserrat. We were just 6 people plus Ramon, so the entire tour felt intimate and personal.

Lovely day excursion from Barcelona for my multi generational family - What an amazing day. Ramon our guide yesterday was awesome with our family group. We had two grandparents in their 70’s, and my family of two adults and three teenagers. Ramon was so patient and helpful with our older adults with us. He gave such wonderful facts along our beautiful hike. 10 out of 10 recommend.
