The booking experience was very good and the excursion was an excellent value! Isabele, our tour guide was very informative, charming and funny; the only clarification needed in the description is that the train down runs on the weekends only and during the week, the way down is via gondola.

The tour guides were excellent, especially Javi. Very knowledgeable, friendly, and funny. Tapas lunch and wine tasting were good. Not enough time allotted to explore Montserrat and ride to the mountain top or take the cogwheel train. Basilica was as described.
