Unfortunately It was a terrible experience. I woke up at 4:45 because they asked us to be at the meeting point before 5:45. My wife and I got there at 5:45. No one was there. Around 6:00 as they hadn't shown up, I called the company and they asked to wait for more 30 minutes maximum. They stood me up until 7:00 and no one showed up. I gave up. They apologized a lot and offered me other options but It was my last day in Barcelona, I was really pissed of and asked for refund. It was a dream of mine but they ruined my day. I had great experiences with Viator but in Barcelona, the guided Parc Güel and Montserrat Balloon didn't end up well. I think Viator should be more careful and select better the companies.

Hot air balloon flight was amazing! We had great weather, beautiful sunny day and smooth winds! Our pilot Joseph did a fantastic job navigating the balloon and a very gentle easy landing. I highly recommend this flight for all who would love to have a new experience and likes to fly! After the flight we went to Montserrat monastery. Mateo was our tour guide. It was a wry interesting tour. I could tell that Mateo if very passionate about history of the region and monastery, it was a great pleasure to listen to him and learn. Also farmers market and gift shop of the monastery are not to be missed! They have great cheese and fantastic atmosphere! Highly highly recommend this tour! Great for all ages!

We booked 8 months before our trip. We received a call on Monday before trip that due to weather trip was postponed and could we reschedule to the Wednesday. We agreed to reschedule to the wed. . On Tuesday afternoon at around 3pm we received an email that excursion was cancelled as they did not have en numbers to run excursion. We had juggled all other activities to other days to fit the exc in on the Wednesday. If they are going to cancel they should give minimum I week! Very disappointed as we were so looking forward to the ballon ride and excursion to Monserrat.

The ballooning was not going to Monserrat even close. I saw the mountain from very far. I was expecting going near or closer up Moncerrat like I saw the picture of they introduce on the webpage but not at all. But ppl were very nice and and nice experience. Tour the monistry was okay but I could not go inside bacilica because of the special day og that time.

The hot air balloon was fine - they’ll take you to some industrial warehouses where you get on the hot air balloons. After the balloon, they’ll drop you off in what seems like the middle of nowhere for a taxi to drive you to Montserrat. The tour guide there will tell you everything is up to you and yes there at your service but you won’t be allowed to go up the furnicular or walk any trails - pretty much before and after the church they’ll shuttle you between different places to spend money. Kinda disappointing that you’d come all the way up here and not be afforded that experience
