Frank was a great guide - friendly, funny, knowledgeable & well-informed. We really enjoyed the visit to the monestery and the walk. Be warned, though, it was VERY cold in February - there was snow on the Pyrenees and an icy blast blew from them.
The views were lovely from the top of Monserrat and the monestary was just as beautiful. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. I feel as though this tour was a little lacking in a few ways. Unfortunately, in the booking it says we would be provided with water bottles and air conditioned bus but we were in a small van and it was very hot and there was no mention of water for us. The tour was a little boring at some parts.
Jordin was an excellent guide and driver. He was so well informed, fun to listen to and very helpful. The monastery is lo and the walk diwn very interesting.vely, the funicular ride exciting
Fantastic day tour we did the walk up from Montserrat as well as the monastery tour. The walk up the mountain was a little steep but well worth it for the views. A great day out.
Guides Jordi and Frank were excellent. Frank led the “long hike” which is up and down, which my husband did. Jordi led the “short hike”which is train going up and walk going down. Just the right amount of talking. Guides brought water and hiking poles just in case, and sure enough, some did not bring enough water. Be sure to bring water and sunblock.
This tour is amazing and Fermin was a great host. Stunning views over the mountain. Everyone visiting Barcelona MUST go. The guide knew the trails in and out and answered so many questions.
Thanks!! If you enjoy I'm happy
