Jorge is an amazing tour guide and very knowledgeable. We took a private van from hotel to Monserrat and rode the funicular at the end. Jorge was very patient and knowledgeable

We visited Montserrat in November and booked a private tour. Jorge was our amazing guide and Jennifer was our very capable and safe driver. Jorge did an amazing job of pointing out the beautiful details of the monastery and painted a vivid picture of the area at different periods in history. He also respectfully gave us some time for personal reflection and prayer. It is a magnificent spot. The pick up and drop off at our hotel was seamless. The drive to/from Montserrat was scenic and Jorge and Jennifer made it fun with some great tunes from the 80s! Definitely recommend this tour!

Our tour guide, Jorge, reached out to us the day before and day of to confirm pickup time and location. He arrived promptly for the pickup. During the drive to Montserrat, Jorge explained the history of the Abbey and what we were going to see. At the Abbey, he provided us with private headsets so we could hear him throughout the tour. A very nice touch. The tour was very thorough and informative and we got to spend ample time in all the areas and never felt rushed. We were even lucky to see the boys choir performing live and not a video like the folks from the cruise ship saw. After discussing the tour with other folks from our cruise ship that took the provided tour from the cruise company, they were very jealous of us. I would highly recommend this tour and Jorge and your guide.

Miro and Daniel is very informative and funny. They made the trip so worth it. We even had the chance to visit the Black Madonna, up close. We definitely recommend them.

Montserrat was beautiful! We very much enjoyed our half-day trip from Barcelona. Our guide, Jorge and his driver, Jennifer were great! Jorge was very knowledgable about Montserrat and answered every one of our questions, his English was perfect, and he was very patient with us too! He knew the history of Montserrat, as well as the surrounding area, and made our day very interesting. We thoroughly enjoyed it. We had an issue, once again, with the tour company, as we had paid for a private tour, yet we had another couple on it with us - they turned out to be a lovely couple, but we paid for a private tour. That is the 2nd time that happened with Viator/Julia company, so beware - we didn't get what we signed up for.

Montserrat is a beautiful and striking visage. The views are incredible! Visiting the Black Madonna and a working monastery of 60+ monks with an active school and children’s choir was truly inspiring. Powerful to visit a historic place that still offers believers inspiration and religious perspective for nonbelievers. I can’t imagine the hermits who dedicated their life to the craggy mountain tops.

Jorge and Jennifer picked us up at our hotel right on time. The tour was amazing. Jorge is a knowledgeable and friendly tour guide. It was a very memorable and interesting day.

Chris_N

A semi private tour that was made all the remarkable by the insights shared by our guide and our driver. The early start (8:30am) was perfect as we arrived to make the first the cable car run. This also allowed us to spend ample time accessing the Black Madonna (without crowds of people and hours long wait) and enjoying the rest of Montserrat at a leisurely pace. The flexibility of the tour was perfect for us!

Jorge is what is expected of a tour guide. Throughout our journey from beginning to end, it was a treat Note: Best to go in the morning to avoid the busy tire buses that vine in afterwards. 1. Picked up from hotel promptly and on time 2. We were the very first group to take the trolly to the top. 3. We were the first to go to the black Madonna and took only mins. 4. He assisted with great pictures along the tires. Priceless moments 5. Great buffet at the end. We were the first to enter and the food was very fresh. Highly recommended
