On the bus ride to the mountain, one of the tour staff provided a brief history of Spain, Catalonia and Barcelona, during which we learned a lot and also laughed a bit. When we arrived in Montserrat and split into tour groups, we found our tour guide Mariana to be knowledgeable and charming. The history and culture of Montserrat is fascinating and the Basílica was so beautiful and full of historical significance.

I booked it last minute for my birthday and had a great time with the guide Francesco who went above and beyond to make sure he got me a slice of cake and - hear me out! - candles, which he had to run to the shop next door for, to sing happy birthday to me. So glad I chose to do this tour and met such amazing people. Also, the tapas experience was great. The black paella made of cuttlefish has me wanting to go back to BCN!!! Love it!!”
