You will learn about the legend that explains the great spiritual importance of the place: the miraculous appearance of an image of the Madonna and Child in one of the caves in the mountain, the Santa Cova. This wood carving, popularly known as La Moreneta, is preserved today in the monastery church. Its characteristic dark colour is due to the oxidation of the varnish over time. Montserrat is also...

Ein großer Dank gilt Sandra & Indiany unseren Tourguides. Uns wurde sehr viel über das Kloster und das drumherum erzählt. Auch wurde auf alle Mitreisenden Rücksicht genommen. Sehr informativ der Ausflug und die Eindrücke waren einfach überwältigend. Auch die Fahrt war gut organisiert und durchgeführt von unserem Busfahrer Mauro, der uns geschickt durch die Serpentinen geführt hat. Einziges Manko: Die Selbstanreise zum Busbahnhof. Preis/Leistung Top????

We enjoyed our trip and the guides were happy and helpful. The experience was let down badly because. the microphone continuously worked poorly on the bus. Crackling, dropping out or way too loud with no ability to adjust. Affected our overall trip experience.

Die Zeit war viel zu kurz - wir wären gerne noch auf die Aussichtsplattform gefahren. Die Likör - Verkostung war leider unterirdisch. Eine absolute Massenabfertigung. Die ist mit den Flaschen über die kleinen Plastikbecher gerauscht, die Hälfte daneben geschüttet, da hätte sie es gleich über uns drüber schütten können. Ehrlich nach dieser tollen Tour ein absolut abwertendes Erlebnis.

El tour de la Sagrada Familia con Amigo Tours estuvo espectacular. El guia, Jordi, fue excelente. El tour de Montserrat con Julia Tours estuvo muy bueno, pero el tiempo es muy corto para visitar un lugar tan bello que ofrece tanto que hacer.

Enjoyed the ride from Barcelona to Monserrat and back - very comfortable. Our guide, Anna, was very knowledgeable and utilized both English and Spanish to convey info. The cogwheel train was fun although it seemed just a short ride. Will definitely recommend this tour company.
