Excellent Tour

My partner and I had a great time on this tour. Many said to just book the ticket for the Funicular and go but I am happy I did the tour because I was able to get an in-depth knowledge of Monserrate, something I would not have gotten if I just went on my own. Everything was explained well and all of my questions were answered. I am happy that I did this tour and I would encourage anyone who wants to learn the history to book this tour. Once the tour concludes you are free to stay and do your own exploration which we did. So I did not feel rushed at all. If you go on the weekends, especially on Sunday expect long lines when it comes to the cable car or the funicular.

If you want a Monserrate...

If you want a Monserrate only tour that covers the history and takes you through the site, this is the way to go. Liz is a patient and knowledgeable guide. She was a great host for 90 minutes!
