Ricardo was an excellent guide. He gave a lot of information. You have enough time to enjoy the area and relax even if it's crowded.

What an amazing experience! Marc was a wonderful, knowledgeable, funny, personable guide. Monserrat was breathtaking. We ( my 86 year old very fit mother and I ) visited the audiovisual tour, took the tram to Sant Joan and hiked around then down to Sant Migel and back to Montserrat. We brought a picnic and at 1/2 way down. It was a gorgeous day. And I saw a wild goat!

Full description

Head out of the hustle and bustle of Barcelona and into the magnificent mountains of Monserrat on a bus tour. Walk through this enchanting landscape, learn about its history from your local guide, and visit the local monastery.

Enjoy a tour of the local monastery and hear about its incredible history. Then, enjoy free time to either go hiking in the magical hills, feast on an all-you-can-eat lunch looking out over mystical views, or explore the museum and further discover the history of this famous landmark. 
After a couple of hours, rejoin the bus where you will then head back down into the city all in time for an evening in Barcelona.

It was an excellent experience. The location, the ride and the guide was just great. What we wish was to have bit more time to perhaps to do a few more activities. For example it was difficult if not impossible to do both hiking and visiting the Basilica with the time we had. It requires at least another hour and a half. Anyways, thank you Marc for an insightful experience of Montserrat from Barcelona.
