A Thoughtful and Enjoyable Montserrat Tour - The tour was a great experience overall, made even better by our guide, Nestor, who was very kind and attentive. I didn’t have cash to buy a candle to light at Montserrat, and Nestor kindly bought one for me. He also went out of his way to buy a small souvenir for everyone on the tour, which was a really thoughtful gesture. The afternoon tour included entrance to the Basilica and the Black Madonna, which was excellent. However, the free time was limited to about an hour, which wasn’t quite enough to explore other activities such as the museum or the funicular. Overall, it was a good tour with a knowledgeable and generous guide, and I would recommend it—especially for those who want a well-organized visit with a great guide.

Incredible tour - Nearly 4 perfect hours with free time to enjoy Montserrat. Nestor was an excellent guide. Small group of 7 in a comfy minivan, full of history and details. Thank you Tours and the City, clearly one of our favorite brand (we will comeback)!

If you are visiting Barcelona, this tour is a MUST! - If you are visiting Barcelona, Montserrat is an absolute must. While you can go on your own, I highly recommend booking a guided tour. Our guide was amazing and incredibly knowledgeable, hearing the whole story and the history behind the monastery made the visit so much more meaningful. The guide’s energy really made the group enjoy every minute. The group was small, less than 10 people, so it was easy to follow and felt very personalised. The views are absolutely insane! Pictures don’t do it justice. 10/10 worth it!

Fantastic guide - Our guide was really good and professional. Good explanation and a lot of alternatives given on this rainy day in Barcelona. Would be good if the company could offer another day since you can’t really see much on a rainy day at the monserrat
