“Juan was the best tour guide for our trip. He was so informative and we all love the history, enthusiasm and helpful commentary.

Review of Montserrat from Barcelona with cable car, monastery visit, easy hike, small groups, practical tips, pricing, and honest drawbacks.
“This day trip to Montserrat was a highlight of our time in Barcelona! It is so nice to have someone drive you straight to the location and give you so much interesting history about not only montserat but the people of Catalan . Our tour guide, james, was splendid in every way. Doing this in January was perfect. We did the early tour and basically had all the locations to ourself. It of course was cool but we dressed for it and I wouldn't do it any other way.”
