Please note that entry is strictly at the scheduled time. Once you receive your voucher, you can show it at the entrance for immediate admission. Upon arrival, you'll be greeted by incredibly beautiful scenery. Seeing the Black Madonna statue takes the most time.

The tour guides Carol and Merak were great english communicators combining humor and wit with historical facts making it not boring. definetely worth the trip

The day before,I decided to spend the morning exploring separately, so I booked this tour at the last minute. Both Marc and Jesus made the experience so much fun from the very beginning. Since there was a Spanish-speaking family in the group, Jesus led our tour, and I couldn’t have asked for a better guide. He shared fascinating insights into the history, geography, and artwork of Montserrat, pointing out details I would never have noticed on my own. After taking the funicular,he continued explaining the landscape, the unique rocks, and plants along the trail as we hiked back down. As a solo traveler, I especially appreciated how thoughtful and attentive he was, always making sure I felt included and comfortable. Joining this tour with Marc and Jesus was without question the best decision I made during my time. They made this beautiful city even more memorable, and because of them, I already know I’ll want to come back someday. Thank you Marc and Jesus for such a wonderful experience!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I had a great experience with Hernando as the only Taiwanese guest in the group. He provided Chinese translation and additional explanations alongside the official English/Spanish guide, helping me better understand the history and culture of Montserrat. Hernando arrived early and was very helpful when I was almost late, patiently guiding me to the meeting point so I could catch the bus in time. When I wanted to re-enter the church, he also communicated with the staff and helped me get back inside. Throughout the trip, he was friendly, professional and genuinely thoughtful. He shared great recommendations for Barcelona’s attractions, restaurants and bars, and kindly took photos for me. I also appreciated that when he introduced other company tours, he never pressured me to buy anything. He simply shared useful information and left the choice to me. Overall, Hernando made the trip much more enjoyable. I highly recommend him, especially to Chinese-speaking travelers!
