Beautiful views on the hike and some interesting information about Montserrat history and the regional ecosystem. The tour through the monastery was brief but also informative.

Jordi was a great tour guide. He picked us up at the meeting point on time and took us on a lovely tour. He explained Montserrat and the mountain landscape to us and pointed out many small peculiarities. I really enjoyed the tour. Thank you, Jordi!

Frank was an INCREDIBLE guide! He walked us up and around Montserrat, always stopping to point out native flora and filled with useful and interesting facts. My wife and I could not have had a better day.

We had a wonderful 6-hour day trip from Barcelona to Monserrat with UNIque Tours Barcelona. Our guide Jordi was also our driver. The meeting point was easy to find and the van (1 of 2) was comfortable during the one hour drive there. Jordi was a great driver and gave us a little background on Monserrat during our drive.
Once at the monastery, he gave us more specific information about the history, what we were going to see and suggestions of things not to miss, including his favorite chapel and a local food (cheese and honey) for purchase at the farmer’s market outside the monastery. It was delicious!
When it came time for the hike we were given two options because Jordi and his colleague were both there that day. We could take the funicular up and walk down the mountain or hike up and down. We chose the funicular and hiked down with Jordi’s colleague whose name I missed. The hike was an hour and 15 minutes and quite steep at times. Most of the path was paved, which made it easier. We passed many beautiful overlooks and a small church which wasn’t open.
We had about 45 minutes free time before heading back to Barcelona to visit the gift shop, cafeteria and farmer’s market.
Jordi and his colleague were both friendly, knowledgable, accommodating and fluent in multiple languages. They made our day trip one to remember.
