Albert is a 10
Albert was an excellent tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and personable. He was knowledgeable and gave excellent explanations. He accompanied us inside the Basilica and was very attentive to our needs and abilities since I do have some mobility issues. In spite of that he made sure that I was able to have a wonderful experience including making sure I could view The Black Madonna After visiting the Basilica, we took the funicular up the mountain. Albert made sure we entered and exited safely.
We really had a wonderful day with Albert and would highly recommend him as a guide.

Phenomenal Montserrat Tour With Alberto
We thoroughly enjoyed the private 7 hour Montserrat tour with Black Madonna access and the upper funicular ride. Alberto was an outstanding tour guide who was friendly, engaging and accommodating. He is well versed in the details of Montserrat’s history and made its history come alive for us. We appreciated him taking us up the steeper trail to see the tiny chapel and the even more panoramic view from that vantage point.

Don't miss out on this treasure! One of our best tour guides ever in all our experiences traveling the world.
My wife and I joined Albert on a beautiful excursion to Montserrat, and if you have any doubts about this experience, don't. Albert was punctual, a delight, and one of our favorite tour guides out of all our trips.
When you look for tours, you want to find someone who is passionate about the topics, the region, and its culture and who can educate you about the area. Albert checked the boxes on every one of these, and we couldn't have been more pleased, other than booking more tours while in town this time or a longer excursion.
When we return to Barcelona, we will not hesitate to contact him to book additional tours. Our only mistake was not meeting him sooner on our trip.

It has been a very pleasant surprise, I could not imagine that we could visit a monastery in such a beautiful place, for its mountains and the views that the landscape gives you.
Albert is a very close guide who makes the tour an unforgettable experience, I definitely recommend it to friends and families.
For us a mandatory visit.

Unforgettable excursion
It has been an unforgettable experience!! The place has a special charm with a very marked spiritual atmosphere. Amazing to see the monastery practically inside the rock and all the information Albert has explained about the monastery and the history of these very genuine mountains. The trip was pleasant and we had a very nice day. It was certainly a good idea for us to meet Albert and have such a beautiful day!
