With Locals Ultimate Montserrat PRIVATE Day Trip - With Cable Car and Train

We had a lovely day with Tomas visiting Montserrat. Our planning was short notice and he made it so very easy, we didn't need to worry about any logistics. He took care of everything! He was a great storyteller and wonderful person to share the train ride to and from! He loves history and is well travelled. Great guide!

Exploring Montserrat with Tomas was an absolute pleasure. He shared his knowledge of the history and spiritual significance of the monastery with great enthusiasm and appreciation. Tomas made sure that we were able to hear the Boy's Choir as they performed below the holy icon of the Black Madonna. Awesome experience.

We really enjoyed our day trip with Hannah. She was a wealth of information and made the visit wonderful. We especially enjoyed the boys choir and local farmers market.

Elvira was fun and very informative! Our day went very smoothly and was stress free. I highly recommend doing this day trip with Elvira. She knows all the ends and outs for public transportation ( which is a little confusing and very time specific). She is very personable and caters the info provided to your groups interests!

From the moment we came into contact with Elvira in planning our day trip to Montserat a d the Graus winery she was incredible. The detail and timely communication in planning to just a fantastic day with her. She was a joy, so helpful in every regard. It was our first trip to Spain and our first time using With Locals. Highly recommend!! Take the extra time and go on Graus winery tour Elvira, thank you for leaving us with a life long memory and for being so great.

Unique place to visit. We were amazed! Our guide Octavio made our day the most fun ever! We made a good friend in Spain. If we come back again Octavio will be our first person we want to spend time with!

Ilona was our guide for two tremendous station in Barcelona. She has vast knowledge of its history, is very personable, and will modify the excursions to fit your desires.

The train, the vehicular and the cable car were great experiences. Alan our guide went the extra mile. It would have been wonderful to be able to walk and appreciate the full Stations of the Cross had time permitted. A very long walk on the mountain side so peaceful. Thanks for a great day Alan.

Had a lovely personal walking tour with Elvira. She was delightful! (Now, excuse my spelling.) Went to El Drac de Sant for pinchos, Jordi, the market, Mendizabal for vermouth and pintxos of fuet bonuelos (codfish cake) chistorra sausage, pimento del piquillo with codfish, catalan came and Cava. 2nd stop at Mendizabal had escalivada (roasted veggies including peppers, onion, eggplant covered with aioli on top of coca (bread) with garlic sauce and Vermouth. 3rd place LaBodega had Albondigas—Spanish meatballs, Russian salad, bomba (meatball rolled in mashed potatoes, with white wine. Then a takeaway Horchata of Tiger nuts: Chauffa. Yes, we could eat no more when we were done! This was during the later stages of Covid, and we needed a Covid test to get on our ship, so Elvira was so nice to set an appointment nearby to get Covid test at a low price. Love Elvira, and Withlocals!

Great day trip if you're in Barcelona for more than a few days. Absolutely breathtaking views from Monserrat. Make sure your guide takes you on the short hike (moderate difficulty) to get to the cross where you can see the Pyreenes and the border with France - absolutely gorgeous and serene. Sebastian was a great guide who knew a lot about the history of the monestary. You could also tell he's done the tour many times as he timed everything perfectly (you need to take a cable car up/down from the monestary and then a train in/out of Barcelona). He also gave us the advice that Saturday was a great day to visit as Sundays are incredibly crowded as many from the region travel for the Sunday church services.
