This tour does not give enough time to explore all that is included in breath taking Monserrat
SimoneMehlbaum
, Oct 2021
From all the Viator trips I have on in the past decade this was the worst guide. She wasn’t interested at all or passionate about the site. We were stuck in traffic due to an accident in the morning and lost a lot of time, not just 10 minutes to view the Madonna, Basilica, museum and virtual tour and get our cookies as we didn’t drink the liquor. It’s impossible to do all this in 1.5 hours , take a longer tour , this is a beautiful experience. Definitely recommend going early before the crowds come .

We hope you will not be left with this bad taste in your mouth and give us your trust again so we can serve you again on your next trip. Dulce, Amigo Tours

Horrible
Ortiz_J
, Jun 2021
Horrible!! The company changed meeting information at the last minute. There were six of us left behind at original meeting point. We were from Spain, England, Italy, and us from the USA. Now they are deciding to refunds or not. If the touring company decides to change pick up information at 9 night before the tour at 7:15am, it would be necessary to personally contact the customer to make sure they get the information at least via a text. Other companies have the sense and curtesy to do so.

Dear Amig@ Thank you very much for letting us know your comments. We have reviewed this issue and we would like to clarify that we were also advised that we would not be allowed to pick up at the old meeting point, due to a new regulation, and we assure you that we tried to solve it as soon as possible. We are sorry that we were not able to serve you as we would have liked. Dulce, Amigo Tours

Montserrat Monastery is a must.
Lucian B
, Nov 2019
If you are visiting Barcelona, do make time for a side trip to Montserrat. The countryside is breathtaking. Be sure you reserve an early morning trip, as the place fills up as the day wears on. There are both guided tours during the ride only and those with added guided tours of the facilities while there. We chose the former and that worked just fine. There are walking tours available, a museum and several restaurants. Remember, the earlier the better.

momopepper

Highly recommend the morning access tour. You get there before the crowds so practically no line and plenty of time to take pictures and enjoy the surroundings peacefully. Both our driver and tour guide were great. Best of all, you still have almost the entire day left to explore other parts of Barcelona after the tour. So if waking up early is not a problem or you have a tight schedule, this tour is perfect.

Monserrat Monastery
Feroza_D
, Oct 2019
I thoroughly enjoyed the fact that we were the first bus tour to arrive at 8 a.m. We were a small group and got to enjoy our walk through the monastery in peace and quiet. My husband and I were the only 2 people at the Black Madonna and got to appreciate it without having to hurry because others were waiting. We were also able to walk to the cross and take many photos of the spectacular views from that point. When we left at 10:30 am throngs of tourists had arrived and all I could think of was how happy I was that we had arrived nice and early and were able to enjoy the early morning hours at this wonderful place.

Good tour
Gunasundari_P
, Sep 2019
This is a good tour, we started off early and reached between 7.45-8 am. The guide Gabrielle was very knowledgeable, and most importantly we got to see the Madonna around 9 am, before the crowd came. Literally, 15 minutes after we exited, we noticed the crowd building up. After we finished the monastery visit, we walked around, and stopped at the gift shop, took some shots of the amazing scenery and had coffee and snacks at the cafe. ( We only took the guided tour option, we didn't take the licor tasting or museum visit. ) We left at 10.45 am and were back almost at noon. Overall, recommended!
