This place was amazing. And viator made it easy visiting the Montserrati. Also you can use the day in the city after returning.

Excellent tour guide, very knowledgeable. The highlight of my trip was the visit to Montserrat. Shame we couldn’t stay there for longer.

A brillliant way to visit Montserrat! We met our guide Francesco at a bus stop just near the Gothic Quarter. The bus was comfortable and took us directly to the Montserrat monastery (so no need for the cable car). We had an hour guided tour around the outside of the monastery, with lots of interesting facts from Francesco. We sufficient free time to walk to the Crosses view point and visit the Basillica. Make sure to buy tickets for the basilica before hand. I would recommend this tour for anyone looking for carefree travel to Montserrat for the day.

The guide, Francisco, was superb. His knowledge of the history of Montserrat was the best element of the day for us.

Montserrat is a must see when you are in Barcelona. It was a majestic experience. Thank you to Francesco our tour guide. He was excellent.

The tour was too long — 2 hours would have been sufficient time
However , most frustrating was the fact the the guide was not mindful of gathering everyone when leaving the bus , leaving us to find our own way
Monserrat is beautiful , however , number of tourists and buses lessen the experience

The scenery on the ride up was spectacular. Our guide Francesco was very knowledgeable and amenable. Our choices were clear. It was an an Ong experience .

Reasonable price compared to other offerings by competitive tours.
Comfortable bus, Tour Guide loves to talk, but we were able to explore the whole place on our own, good tips also for buying tickets to extra venues, and local products.

Memorable trip. Joyrney took only 50min. Tour guide Francesco was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. 5 stars to him!
I would recommend visiting Basilica while you there as well. Entry ticket cost only €7

This was a very comfortable bus ride from Barcelona to Montserrat. The directions to the meeting point were clear, and the Guide Francisco gave us a great deal of information about Montserrat, as well as the history of Spain.
