Informative and very safe.

5.00Jordin, our guide was informing and professional. Our group of 8 felt like we were watched over regarding safety at all times. I chose not to go on the one hour hike to the chapel and cross because it was a little steep in places. I would highly recommend this tour.

5.00The tour guide, Jordi, was awesome! Best tour guide we’ve ever had. The tour was great but the hiking climb at Montserrat is not as easy as indicated. There are some steep inclines that older folks will find challenging.
Excellent tour with David

5.00This was an excellent full-day tour with our guide, David. He was incredibly knowledgeable about every area we visited, and his enthusiasm was contagious. His English was perfect, and his cheerful personality made the whole experience even better. We learned so much about Montserrat, the monastery, and Sitges. We were lucky to witness a celebration at the monastery, which made the visit even more special. David guided us up the mountain to breathtaking views and shared fascinating insights along the way. In Sitges, he knew all the right spots to take us, and we thoroughly enjoyed each stop. The van was spacious and comfortable, and we felt completely safe with his driving—we even dozed off on the way back! Highly recommend this tour and David—he truly loves what he does, and it shows.
Very good tour and tour...

5.00This day trip was amazing and perfect to experience a little bit of Barcelona outside of the city. The basilica of Monserrat was stunning and learning about its history was insightful. Next stop, Sitges was a quaint seaside town with lots of history. James or Javme (in Catalan) our tour guide was fantastic. All in all, a wonderful and well worth it experience. Thank you!
Beautiful your out of the city of Barcelona

5.00We had a great day tour with Jordi. He is very knowledgeable and funny. So close to Barcelona and yet so different, you won’t regret taking this day trip. I wouldn’t call the hike necessarily easy. I’d give it a 6/10 on the hard scale. I expected a 3😝 given the “easy” description. Montserrat and Sitges are so different. I was so pleased to see both mountain and sea in the same day as an escape from the bustling city of Barcelona.

5.00Our tour guide was incredible and chatted with us the entire time! He was very educated on the area and told us anything we could have wanted to know. It was so much fun and we absolutely loved Sitges and the warm weather! It was a lovely trip and I’d do it again in a heartbeat!
