Albert does a great job communicating and being on time. Going early is priceless. You beat the crowds. Getting to see sunrise adds that much more to the experience.

Montserat was indeed mystical at that early hour. Our group of 6 was almost alone and we will always remember it. Everything advertised on the tour was accurate. The problem is that the driver/guide, as well intentioned as he might be, lacks communication skills and is somewhat abrupt. Yes, he did explain various Monteserat tour items, but he needs to work on courtesy. The pickup point was especially confusing to us and the address given as a pickup point was not clear. We even tried to find the address the day before and spent a few hours trying to find it. The tour guide phone number (whatsapp) was of no use and the driver provided no guidance whatsoever via his text reply. We needed help to find the pickup point, but his reply (via text) was of no use. Yes he found us the next morning at dawn, but it was stressful not being sure where he was picking us up.
In any case, we still rated the experience with a 5... Montserat was beautiful. Its the tour guide that needs some improvement on communications and politeness. However, we would still do it all over again, this tour -Montesrat at the early hour- is worth it.

Albert was a great guide. He texted us the day before to organize a pick up point. He was punctual and knowledgeable about the sites we were seeing. I enjoy tours when the guide is there to impart information and walk with you but then also goes you free time to roam on your own. I would definitely recommend this tour!

Beating the crowds by arriving so early, hearing the monk sings in the church with a handful of people was amazing. Albert was a great guide, took us on a little hike to show us a great view of Montserrat. We bit the crowd going up on the funicular where we enjoyed our free time and explore. The boy choir was amazing too. The little glass of local white wine at the end was very very welcome and delicious. Thank you Albert!

Arriving early and exploring the chuch and Black Madonna in silence was very moving. Men's choir and later the boy's choir was excellent (but crowded). Tour was informative but plenty of time to hike and wander!

This trip was incredible from start to finish. Albert our guide was so thoughtful! And he had the trip so well planned from a text message the night before to coordinate pick up and reading material. We got to Monserrat HOURS before any other tourists and had plenty of time to see Abbey, the black Madonna and small hike where we saw cabra! We then had plenty of time to explore on our own where we took the funicular to the top of the mountain and walked down. Albert knew all the 'ins and outs' and told us to get on the funicular first and made sure we knew where we were going! We then saw the museum and took the cogwheel train down the mountain where Albert met us with the van. This tour format allows for a lot of flexibility which we appreciated. Albert also did a beautiful job providing both english and spanish translations for us and the other women on the tour. Thank you, Albert!

Albert is a wonderful guide! He was very organized and communicates plans so we know what’s going on (2 days before the tour, he messaged to confirm pick up times and location and gave detailed timing of what the day would look like and patiently answered all of my questions!). It was a wonderful experience to get to Montesserat so early before the crowds arrived. I would definitely do this tour with Albert again if in Barcelona because it was my favorite tour. Thank you so much Albert!

Albert did an incredible job planning all of the pieces that made this day so memorable. Montserrat is a stunning place, and we were able to fit in everything that we wanted. Thank you to Albert and Viator for curating such a beautiful day!
