Traveler reviews
Xavi is the guide to get
Xavi was our guide on a 10-hour tour (!) with a 7yo where we didn't speak Catalan, and we were prepared for this to be a hot mess. It better than we could have imagined. Xavi knows so much about history and about Montserrat, we wouldn't have known what the hell was going on there without him. He knew the tour guides everywhere we went, and made our entries into the Cardona salt cave and the castle seamless. He was flexible with our scheduling, and even had treats in the car, which made our kid very happy. Highly recommend Xavi for a tour. He could (and nearly did) talk for the entire 10 hours about all these amazing places. The 7yo: "He was a good tour guide. He gave us a lottery ticket but we didn't win."
Fantastic
Rodrigo is the best guide we have had during our visit to the city of Barcelona.
Day tour
Beautiful day with an amazing guide. Ramon our guide, made this such a great experience.
A trip to experience Catalan culture, history and nature.
Monserrat and Cardona are definitely worth a visit. Without a car, it was difficult to go around both in a day, so we took the tour. They were perfectly able to assist us with everything from transportation to the hotel, parking on site, arranging tickets, and providing detailed commentary on each location. Our guide Ramon was very kind and warm to our children, even those who didn't understand English, and the whole family was able to enjoy it with peace of mind.
Must-Visits for their history and nature!
Montserrat and Cardona are must-visit places but hard to do without a car. This tour took care of everything—transfers, parking, tickets, and great guiding. It was worth every penny! Our guide, Ramon, had amazing historical knowledge, and he was so sweet to our children even though they don't understand English.
