Great Hike, Great Experience - This was the highlight of our visit to Barcelona! Meeting place was easy, vans were new and clean, Sandra was a great driver and hike leader. We had a good amount of time at the monastery. The hike was about 4 miles, and felt like a real hike up and down the mountain. Incredible views! Highly recommend!

amazing experience!!!! - Absolutely amazing experience. Highly recommended !! This activity is very well organised. Our guide was fantastic, super friendly, very caring checking on everyone all the time during the walk. She also got the knowledge about history, geography, even geology, nature. Price are affordable for the experience of having almost 3 hours walk (with few stops along the way). Just for precision, this is not for beginners. We did the walk with our son who is 11 but used to do a lot of walks and sports. There are some tricky steps along the way. We had amazing time Again Higly commented. Many thanks to the team and our guide Eugenia.

Lovely Hike to the Monastery - Lovely hike to the mountains behind the monastery. Wear closed toe sneakers or hiking shoes. It is a short hike by mileage (3 miles) but a somewhat strenuous hike by elevation (lots of climbing up). Bring water. Our guide was good about giving us the history of the monastery and surrounding area. Weather was beautiful in late March, but will be brutally hot in the summer.

Best way to see Montserrat! - This is definitely the best way to see Monserrat. The hike is easy to moderate. We had people of all ages on our tour. BYO snacks/lunch. The guides were friendly and very knowledgeable. Important to note that if you want to see the black Madonna up close, you need to buy a separate ticket and that is not included in this tour. My family and I were there for the hike, so this wasn’t an issue for us. You can see the black Madonna from afar inside once you’re inside the basilica.

Good small group tour! - The tour was awesome! The guide was informative and interesting, and the tour moved along at a good pace. The hike was a nice addition to just seeing the monastery and appropriate for our fitness level. Definitely recommend this tour!

Fantastic day trip - Chris was the perfect tour guide. He led us all through a beautiful hike off the beaten trail around Montserrat and narrated a great history of the mountain and monastery. Highly recommended!

Not your typical Montserrat monastery visit! - A different way to visit Montserrat for sure! Be ready for moderate hiking off the beaten path. It was great exercise and the views were spectacular! Not your every day normal tour! My daughter (16) and I (50) really enjoyed it. Wasn't sure what I had signed us up for, but glad I did! 1000ft vertical, roughly 4 mile round trip.
