Review for: Afternoon Tour with Cogwheel Train & Black Madonna (14:00h) Book now

Great tour and very convenient, especially for solo travelers or groups. It saves you the hassle of planning transportation and the price is worth it. Montserrat was beautiful and the views were amazing. Just a small note: the tour includes wine tasting, but during our visit we only passed by and didn’t get to experience the tasting. Overall, still a wonderful and memorable trip.

It was a wonderful half day trip. The tour operator was communicative, and the guide/driver Gaspar, reached out in advance to coordinate the pick up time. Tour group was a small cosy size, travelling quite comfortably in a MPV. Gaspar was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared fascinating insights about Spain’s history and Montserrat throughout the journey. He took us on a scenic route to showcase the different sides of Montserrat and explained its unique geological formations. Gaspar also guided us through the Basilica, home to the Black Madonna. Frm there, we had some free and easy time to explore the area. Overall, tour was well paced and organised, and Gaspar always provided clear instructions and was always punctual. It was a memorable and enjoyable trip.

Review for: Morning English Coach Tour (09:00h) Book now

Very wonderful experience! Our tour guide, Marc, was highly knowledgeable and overall a fun guide! He gave a very detailed explanation of Montserrat history and Catalan Culture in general. I learned many new things on this trip! The coach bus ride to Montserrat was great, we were lucky there was no traffic and the seats were comfy. The view of Montserrat is jaw dropping! Do be prepared to go for a little hike to get the best views by Creu de Sant Miquel, if you’re afraid of heights, good luck! This experience was unforgettable, I highly recommend booking!

We had an absolutely fantastic time on the Montserrat Monastery Classic Tour. The tour was perfectly paced, giving us the chance to soak up the breathtaking scenery, explore the monastery, and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of Montserrat at our own pace. What truly made this tour stand out was our guide, Eduardo. From start to finish, his knowledge and humor made every moment engaging and fun. He wove fascinating stories about the history and significance of Montserrat into the tour while keeping the group laughing and smiling along the way. Eduardo’s ability to balance information with entertainment was exceptional. We learned so much without ever feeling overwhelmed, and the group atmosphere was joyous thanks to him. His insights brought the place to life, and his warm personality made everyone feel welcome and included. Overall, the tour was fun, enriching, and seamless, from the beautiful views and well-organized itinerary to the expert guidance we received throughout.

Review for: 上午英文導覽巴士遊 (09:00) Book now

The weather was very good and the trip went smoothly. The tour guide was Mark, who introduced the history of the monastery very seriously on the bus. When we arrived at the destination, he explained the environment here while walking. In addition to the monastery and art gallery, there are also magnificent mountains and boulders, and the natural scenery is even more attractive. On the recommendation of the tour guide, we walked to the Cross of San Miguel, stood on the edge of the cliff and looked out at the monastery opposite and the vast and magnificent mountain scenery around. It was great! It was Friday that day, and many primary and secondary school students came here for off-campus teaching and hiking. Obviously, this is a popular hiking and outing spot for local residents. (It takes less than an hour to go back and forth) The tour guide said that you can also take a cable car to another attraction "Sant Joan". This side is higher and the view is wider!

Klook Monserrate Monastery Tour: Great experience, five-star recommendation! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This trip to Monserrate Monastery booked through Klook was beyond my expectations! From the tour guide to the driver, every staff member made me feel the extreme care! We must praise our tour guide Mile (not sure if the spelling is accurate, it should be close)! She exudes the typical Spanish sunshine and enthusiasm, and infects everyone with her bright smile and energetic state as soon as she meets! The whole process is explained alternately in English and Spanish. Whether facing local tourists or foreign tourists like me, they maintain the same full enthusiasm and professionalism. The explanation content is rich and detailed, and there is no perfunctory due to language differences. This equal attitude is great! Special thanks to the driver Kim! He drove smoothly along the way to ensure our safety, and also cooperated with the itinerary arrangements attentively, picking up on time, making the journey safe and smooth. Under the leadership of Mile, the natural landscape of the monastery is perfectly integrated with the profound human history. She explained the origin, development story, and cultural significance of the monastery clearly and thoroughly, making me feel like I was traveling through time and space and witnessing those historical moments with my own eyes. Moreover, the itinerary was very reasonable, and the schedule was strictly followed from departure to return, which not only ensured sufficient time for sightseeing, but also did not make people feel rushed and tired. Of course, I also want to thank the group members for being super punctual, and everyone cooperated tacitly to make the journey smoother and more enjoyable! The Monastery of Monserrate itself is even more amazing! The magnificent natural scenery and ancient buildings complement each other, and every corner hides a history worth savoring. Only by standing there in person can you truly feel its charm and shock. I sincerely recommend it to all friends who come to Spain! If you want to explore the Monastery of Monserrate in depth, this itinerary is definitely the right choice! Thanks again to Klook, tour guide Mile and driver Kim for giving me an unforgettable travel memory!
