Beautiful experience - The tour was great! As an experienced rider, I found the horseback riding part a bit too easy as it was just a walk. However, the scenery more than made up for it. The views were absolutely stunning! Montserrat is such a beautiful and unique place, and our guide Katia took excellent care of us throughout the experience.

MUST-do tour!!!! - This tour was seriously worth every penny! Horseback riding with Laura was an amazing experience, she is such a good guide and made the process very easy even for first timers. The views while horseback riding were absolutely breathtaking! Once we arrived at the monastery Roger took over and explained the history with insights into the town and its inhabitants. He made the tour fun and gave great recommendations on what to do with our free time! Overall one of my favorite experiences and tours that I have EVER been on. I would absolutely do it again if I come back to Barcelona!

Adventure & Beauty in the Mountains - I had a great experience with Roger, our friendly and knowledgeable guide, and Laura, our wonderful horseback riding teacher! We were given ample time for both activities and we were able to enjoy incredible views! Both guides were exceptionally warm and made the day one of my favorite travel experiences so far!

Beautiful views and insightful tour - We had a lovely time touring with Chris! The views were amazing and Chris’s knowledge of the mountain and basilica made the experience all the more memorable. Chris was very helpful and friendly along each step of the tour and even gave us recs for the rest of our trip in Barcelona. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience.

It was ok - I enjoyed the activities. This specific tour was grouped together on the same coach with two other small groups who had different destinations for the day. Our horseback group was dropped off on the side of the road and a driver (not sure if he worked for the tour company or the ranch or if he was a taxi driver) picked us up and took us to the ranch, our guide did not come with us and did not communicate well on what was going to happen after she stayed on the bus. After horseback riding the taxi driver took us up the winding mountain road and we met our guide. She took us through the monastery’s notable history and showed us pictures in a binder of the places we were standing. Not exactly my favorite way to see and experience a place. My group and I were hungry after the horseback ride and we had to follow our guide around for an hour before we had free time. There was a miscommunication on the meetback location, I think having multiple groups on a large coach isn’t the way to go, but overall I’m glad I had these experiences.
