This is a nice tour, time is the issue on this tour because when you are in a place this nice you want to see it all, but it is worth it.

This site is beautiful and the landscape almost seems unreal.

We had a very good guide, who was approachable and full of great knowledge of the sight. We should have been allowed more time in the museum. Unfortunately, it was raining and we were unable to appreciate the views.

The guide spoke a very broken English and was difficult to understand. It was not enough time to spend in such a great place.

It would be better if the amount of time in Montserrat was a little bit longer.

The tour office was easy to find, the tour guide was informative, and the time allotted was perfect. Good idea to take some motion sickness medicine before getting on the bus because it is a 15 minute windy road up to Montserrat. Go on a Sunday, when most of Barcelona is closed anyway and the roads are clear. We had a wonderful time.

It is a must see however, don't bother with the train up to Montserrat. It's not worth the five Euro. You can't really see anything and the folks on the bus said they had beautiful views.

My husband and I, along with our daughter thought this was a lovely trip. Our tour guide was lovely, very articulate and informative. The choir who sings at 1 o'clock each day were definitely worth hearing. Thank you for a very enjoyable experience.

The day we went to Montserrat was very foggy. In fact our tour guide who has been going up there for 7 years said that is was the foggiest day she has ever seen! The fog ended up clearing up a little bit by the time we were leaving so we could see some of the incredible views. Altogether I think Montserrat is definitely worth doing, even with the fog it was beautiful and very peaceful. I would absolutely go again, hopefully next time will be a clear day!

The tour was OK and worth doing; the only minor issue was that the tour was short, with only about two hours on the mountain. The description says there is a stop at the harbor on the return, and that is not correct; we only stopped where the tour originated.

This was a great place to visit, but I would have preferred a small coach and a longer time to explore the mountain.

Montserrat is beautiful, it is definitely worth seeing. However, do it on your own do not use a tour, they rush you and you don't get to take it all in.
