Lucas the tour guide was amazing. You can tell he loves his city and loves his job. Horseback riding was fun and the Monastery was beautiful. I wish we had more time to explore it though .

I’m an experienced rider, but four of the guests had never been on a horse. I was extremely impressed with our guides. Laura gave careful instructions, and when we rode, her and the man ( I didn’t catch his name), actually walked the whole way alongside the beginners’ horses. The horses were Arabian, Lusitano, Spanish. Well cared for, well trained, calm and extremely gentle animals. The views were marvelous, the trails easy. Later we joined the others on our nice bus, to go to the beautiful Basillica of Montserrat. Well worth the time! Our tour guides were charming and knowledgeable. I felt very safe traveling solo, and had fun with everyone there. Thank you!!

Leaving Barcelona, Katia was very informative about the history of the city. The horseback riding tour was amazing! The views were beautiful and the guides were kind and patient with beginner riders. Once up to Montserrat, Mar gave a great tour of the Monastery and Basilica before letting us explore ourselves. Overall, we had a great time and would recommend this experience to others interested in visiting Montserrat.

This was a fun excursion not too far from Barcelona city. Carlos was a great guide who shared interesting facts and history about Montserrat. Everything was very well-organized and operated smoothly from Barcelona to the horseback riding location to Montserrat monastery/basilica.
