The tour exceeded our expectations. The time allotted for the guided tour was perfect because it allowed us just enough additional time to enjoy one of the hiking trails, allowing us to enjoy the majesty of the natural surroundings and appreciate the peacefulness of the monastery's locale even more.

The tour did not give enough time to do anything but view the cathedral and go taste the monk's homemade liquor. There was no possible way to do a hike, or even take part in the audio tour that was part of the package. Cathedral was beautiful though and the liquor delicious

All was very good organized and the guide was friendly and professional. It would be better, if all guided parts would be together and to have one long free time instead of interrupting it, but this is only a hint for the organizers.
Thanks for this nice trip.

The place is too commercialized. You took what was probably a beautiful monastery and turned it into an amusement park. The chapel was beautiful, the mountain was beautiful, but the convenience store, souvenir shop and other things made it less enjoyable.

Hello, the trip was great. We were very satisfied. Excellent organization. Carlos was amazing and we give him 5 stars. English was too fast for us. Unfortunately, we don't understand that much, but it was still very beautiful. Thank you and we will definitely repeat this trip when we go to Barcelona

Audio download packages were useless. I do not have bluetooth headphones so I could NOT hear much from my iPhone speakers with general noise & people. Audio was only useful on guided tours where they SUPPLIED headphones/receiver. You need to inform customers of the issue...

Quite comfortable bus and terrific guide. Needed a little longer to include time for art museum. Liqueur-tasting was a waste of time. It was very crowded and there was no interest shown in explaining the different Liqueurs other than alcohol content. Quite impersonal sales pitch.

Only one criticism, not of the guides, but when you confirm the tour is on, and you say where to meet the bus, why dont you say at The Bus Station?

Guide was very good and the monastery is very interesting but there was too much waiting around for both the choir and the visit to the Black Madonna. This left no time to explore for oneself or time to even have a drink. We felt the whole experience was rushed.

In order to truly enjoy Montserrat, you really need a full day on site, otherwise it gets very hectic and unfulfilling. The driver was excellent, as were the 2 tour guides.
The food facilities need improving or at least ensure there is staff to man the positions, even in late Sept.

The place was incredible surrounded by the mountains and it was a beautiful sunny day. Definitely more time is required to have the complete available experience, in my case I had no time to attend the choir because the tour operator (Julia Travel) do not coordinate well the contracted services.

The monastery was beautiful. Not so happy with the tour company. The stated a dress code which was cover your shoulders and knees, we followed that. The 2 guides were wearing shorts and crop tops. We didn’t have enough time to see much. On our way back the AC was so low that we were sweating.

Nice people organising tours. We opted. It to go on Saturday because the bus was too small for the tickets sold. We waited until yesterday. I believe our tour guide was excited to be guiding, but her knowledge was substandard when compared with some of the guides we overheard on our tour.
