"Hiking" means "mountain climbing" with incredible views - When they say "guided hike" they aren't kidding. We climbed to the very top which was NO JOKE. It was fantastic but be prepared to get your heart rate WAY up. Gorgeous views and our guide, Albert, was absolutely fantastic. Highly recommend.

Early Small Group the only way to go.... - If you plan on going to the Monstserrat the "Early Trip Small Party Tour" is the only way to go. Our driver "Albert" promptly pick us up in front of our hotel. We were transported along with 3 other passengers in a clean comfortable van. While en-route to our destination, our tour guide, Albert, would point out points of interest and answered other question that were not tour related. He was very informative and personable. He even provided cool bottles of drinking water. The benefit of arriving early gave us an opportunity to explore without the crowds. We were fortunate to attend a portion of the mass and hear the monks sing. (Within two hours the Monstserra was packed with arriving tour buses.) Our tour guide continued to provide informative information and gave us an opportunity to explore on our own, while still maintaining an eye on our small group. We truly enjoyed this tour and our tour guide.

One of the best experiences - Albert was more than just a guide—he was genuinely dedicated to making sure everyone was enjoying themselves, always going the extra mile for each of us. He led us on an incredible hike with stunning views, though I’ll say it’s definitely a challenge if you’re not at least a bit athletic. He even brought water for us, which he carried all the way up the mountain, and the moment we reached the top, he opened a bottle of wine to celebrate! Afterwards, he recommended a great spot for lunch and even dropped us off there. What an amazing experience and such a lovely guide. Albert, I can't thank you enough for this On another note, i highly recommend to take the morning trip to avoid tourist jams (youll take the best pictures because the church will be empty). Met some amazing people that I ended up spending then day with, we visited Temple of the Sacred Heart of Jesus after we finished our trip with Albert if you like another amazing spot!

Perfect morning! Highlight of our trip! - This was an absolute highlight of or trip to Spain. Montserrat was breathtakingly beautiful and the experience of arriving early before the crowds, was what really made it special. Albert was a wonderful guide. There was excellent communication before the trip, he even sent links about some of the history as well as maps and very detailed pick up instructions. Transportation by van was comfortable and we even got to experience the funicular and zipper train! The hikes were just the right amount of challenge for us, with rewarding views at the top! Albert was well prepared for the hiking and prompt with getting us where we needed to be on time. We were back in the city by 1:30 and felt very accomplished having seen and done so much. Highly recommend this experience!

Great Hiking Tour of Montserrat - Albert is a phenomenal guide and we had a wonderful time learning about Montserrat and did some great hiking. As we started early we were one of a few at Montserrat, was able to see the last portion of the morning diario with the monks at the church, and start hiking before all the large tours arrived. Highly recommend wearing hiking shoes as there are some paths through woods and on rock.

Albert was an amazing... - Albert was an amazing communicator leading up to our excursion. He provided us with information about the day and was punctual when he arrived. The ride to the monastery was beautiful, and he insured we were there just as the sun came up. He provided us with all of the knowledge we needed to know to enjoy our time there. The hiking itself was tiring, but it was worth every step! Make sure you are comfortable shoes - good sneakers or even hiking shoes. Albert will accommodate everyone's skill level, and be considerate to make sure that you have a wonderful experience. I could not imagine coming to Barcelona without doing this excursion. Thank you Albert for an amazing time and one that we will not forget!

Wear your hiking shoes and come prepared to hike - Although the guide was very knowledgable and pleasant. It turned out to be a different experience than expected. We were matched with people that maybe didn’t understand the type of excursion that was advertised: a hike. The guide did his very best to acomodate everyone making these few hours really enjoyable. My suggestion is to make sure that everyone who has signed up with you knows what they are getting themselves into.
