My wife and I really enjoyed our outdoor adventure with Estephan, exploring and hiking the scenic views of Montserrat and monastery. It was a wonderful experience and would likely to do it again when we come back to visit Barcelona in the future.

Stefan was very professional, knowledgeable, and very accommodating. Started the tour on time, explained all historical places and context, and patiently answered all our questions. He brought water bottles for us, offered us local tangerines and told the significance behind them. I would highly recommend to take his tour and you would enjoy every minute with him ! Viral

Really nice, and friendly guides. If you like hiking, definitely recommend doing this, rather than just seeing the monastery and just leaving
We had a great...

We had a great experience! Everything was very well planned and on time. Stepan knows the mountain very well and shared a lot of information while hiking and during the breaks. He plans the hike according to the group's level and weather conditions which is very accommodating for all. Great energy and fun overall :)
Stepan great person and tour guide,

Very fun! Tour guide was fantastic, very friendly and made sure everyone felt safe and was having fun during the hike. Stunning view and very well worth it. Recommend bringing comfortable shoes as there is plenty of walking.
Awesome hiking tour of Monserrat!

This tour was great, the meeting location was easy to find and the tour guide was awesome. The hike was enjoyable and easy. The tour guide was very informative and allowed several breaks along the way. Would recommend!
I have been to Montserrat...
Joseph_D, Mar 2023
I have been to Montserrat several times but have never done the hike. What an incredible experience! The views were incredible. The small group experience was perfect. Our guide, Stefan, was very kind and tailored the experience to the preferences of the group. The only thing I wish is that the hike could have been longer. I enjoyed this so much!
Response from Host, Mar 2023

Tranquility outside of Barcelona
Laura_H, Oct 2021
Stepan was an amazing guide, giving the history and perfect trek around the mountains of Montserrat. The transfer was seamless and all of us had a wonderful day
Would definitely go again!

Going in low season meant I had a private tour. Stepan picked me up from my hotel and was very conversational. He is clearly a very experienced guide, as he worked in breaks, snacks and information about the mountain and the monastery at well timed intervals. He is very knowledgeable and accommodating, catering the tour to my fitness level and desires - I'd highly recommend him and do this hike again! TIP: Wear good and comfortable walking or hiking shoes; I wore hiking boots and was so glad - there were some parts where street sneakers might not cut it!
Montserrat hike

I was very lucky to have Stephan all to myself for the hike. He gave me a few options for the hike when we got to Monserrat, so I was able to choose one to suit my experience. The hike was amazing with such beautiful views. I was very impressed with Stephan's knowledge of the area, especially about the flora. I really enjoyed the hike and it was great to meet some locals at the end when we visited the markets, tasting incredible honey and cheese. I would book with Stephan again, I highly recommend his company.
Toller abwechslungsreicher Ausflug
Sylvia_U, May 2022
Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Ausflug in einer sehr kleinen Gruppe. Die mittelschwere Wanderung hatte tolle Aussichtspunkte. Stephan ist ein sehr sympathischer und kompetenter Guide. Ich kann die Tour nur empfehlen.
