Good trip! - This is exactly what the tour said it would be. We rode a bus, rode a train, had a short tour from a passionate guide, and then had free time to do what we wanted to do. We took the funicular to the top and wandered a bit before returning to the base to explore. We left with a selection of cheeses to enjoy on our return trip.

Montserrat - The tour is a little rush plus the weather was not very good, rainy.
Other than that, the trip was wonderful.
