Private Montserrat, Gaudi and Modernism Day Trip from Barcelona
Barcelona, Spain
My Rating

This trip was all that I hoped for as far as the history and spiritual significance of Montserrat . The visual beauty of the surrounding area was awesome. The best part of the tour, for me, was the trip to Colonial Guell and the insight into the vision Gaudi had for his future masterpiece, Sagrada Familia. An unexpected delight!

I really enjoyed Terragona for its significance during Roman rule. The Sitges tour was not worth the time and money.

This was a great introduction to Barcelona on the first day of our 5 day trip. Our guide gave us plenty of time for photos and to just absorb the atmosphere of this rich period in history.

My Rating

This tour was very strenuous but interesting and worth the effort. I was only disappointed by not having enough time to appreciate the many masterpieces hanging on the walls as we rushed past.
A general complaint I'd like to make on all the larger group tours: I missed much of the guides' comments due to the number of clients she was addressing and not always aware of whether those closest to her were English or Spanish speaking. I would recommend ear phones be loaned to customers so that, no matter how close to the guide you stand or how softly she/he must speak due to certain conditions (as in a church) each customer would hear the full presentation. Thank you.
