Montserrat with Pau - Our trip to Montserrat was wonderful. Pau picked us up at the hotel right on time. He is wonderful and knowledgeable and gave us detailed commentary on the area, the mountain, and the monastery as we were driving to Montserrat. Once there he introduced us to ricotta with honey YUM that the farmers sell at their stands. We hiked to the cross , saw the black Madonna, heard the boys choir, and sat in the church. He knew the answer to every question we asked. He is so personable and open and even talked about his family’s connection to Montserrat. We never felt rushed . It was such an enjoyable experience . I HIGHLY recommend this trip with Pau.

Pau with LoKool Tours might be the best tour guide in Barcelona!! Highly recommend! - Our tour guide, PAU, with LoKool Tours, was the very best tour guide you could possibly have if anyone is thinking about booking this tool they should do it with LoKool TOURS and specifically asked for Pau, he was knowledgeable, engaging, friendly, a great driver and all around excellent tour guide highly recommend. If you’re thinking about doing monster or any other tours in the Barcelona area be sure to search Pau with LoKool Tours.

Expectations met. Exceeded! Extended! - Extraordinary day. The history and sites alone were fabulous. But we were blessed with an amazing guide…Pau. He knows the history but captures with his passion nuances that belongs to people in their struggles of faith, pride, and battle that underlies the history. A very gratifying experience.

This venue is a must! - This was a GREAT experience. Pau, our guide, was very flexible and responsive. Pau picked us up at the ship terminal directly and we loaded the luggage in the back of the van and started our “journey”. He gave us history of the area, the development and government of Barcelona. He was very knowledgeable of the history of Spain and its political challenges over time. Once we arrived at Montserrat area, we took a tram up to the monastery, we walked the paths (bring good walking shoes) as he gave us history of the monastery and the Benedict monks. He was very familiar with the area as his family had ties to the Basilica before Franco’s rule. Pau made sure we were able to see the inside of the church and touched the “Black Madonna”. We grabbed lunch while we were there and he drove us back to the hotel at the end of the day.

Worth the money - Pay is a great tour guide and gave us option of walk up to the cross or seeing the Museum for extra 13 Euros per person and we also paid 11 more Euros per person on the Monestrat ticket app for the awesome boys choir at 1 pm. We saw the inside of the beautiful church and great outside views of the area. The whole tour takes around 5.5 hours.

Memorable family day with Pau - Pau was an AWESOME guide! He is a native Catalon who is well-read and well-travelled, and his boundless knowledge of history and culture made our day a rich experience. He was flexible and adapted to our desires to spend more time with some things and less with others. He became a family friend and treated us to a fabulous, memorable day. Obrigada, Pau! Gracies!
