Everything was perfect. When we arrived at the tourist information office, they gave us a map to help us get around, a guidebook, and a prayer card with a medallion of the Black Madonna. It was a tiring day, but it’s an experience worth having. Highly recommended.

Montserrat Monastery with Black Madonna Access, Audio Guide & Train Tickets from Barcelona

Everything went really well. The directions should mention that the ticket counter is located underground at the train station. The email instructions show a photo of a location, but the ticket counter isn’t actually there. You’ll find it in the basement near the entrance to the train station. That’s also where you pick up your tickets. Take the train to the Monistrol de Montserrat station and get off at the cogwheel train. The first station marked “Montserrat” is the cable car station. This detail is also missing from the description. The cogwheel train runs only once an hour. Please check the schedule beforehand so you don’t have to wait too long for the cogwheel train to depart. Otherwise, it was a great trip—if you keep these small details in mind, I can recommend it to everyone.

Great guide, Marc, very knowledgeable and approachable. Group was 25 so a good size. The basillica is just extraordinary! Pictures dont do it justice, you have to see it. Absolutely incredible! I will ask though to please update the meeting point, the restaurant we were given to meet outside doesn't exist anymore, luckily a guide from the company was waiting for us.

The bus tour was an incredible experience—you literally get to see all of Barcelona. I recommend studying the map beforehand and getting off at the stops that interest you most. If you download the City Tour app, you can see where the bus is coming from so you don’t end up waiting in vain at the stop. I also recommend the 48-hour tour—there are so many beautiful places. We spent two hours just at the MNAC, and we only managed to see half of it, and then we continued with the tour. Excellent app, and I recommend getting tickets in advance—not for the tour, since there’s always availability, but the other sites sell out quickly.
