VELTRA tours & activities, fun things to do

Our guide on Sunday, March 4th was very good. She explained the process to see the Virgin Mary very well and all of the other options during the 2 hour free time.

Very well worth the time and cost. The boys choir after Sunday Mass is worth the wait.

Montserrat's tour

Great place to visit. Bus was very well kept and the tour guide was very informative. The only problem with bus tours, you are not given enough time to truly enjoy the sights.

Impressive

We thoroughly enjoyed our half day trip (despite the rain). Impressive landscape and cathedral. Our guide was very kind and informative. Thank you!

Beautifull place to visit

One of the best places to visit when you come to barcelona!,Amazing views and very peaceful place to visit

Very nice place if you are not afraid of heights and winding roads.

Great day and enjoyed the trip.

Enjoyed trip.
Tour guide very informative and able to provide commentary in three languages

The tour was great with one exception, our tour guide did not give us enough time to see the Black Madonna. Rather than get up in line early we walked around the shopping area talking about what we could do. It would have been better to get in line and meet up later to talk about shopping ideas.
Montserrat is amazing and a must see for anyone regardless of religious belief. The buildings and site is well constructed and blends in with the natural setting.

We enjoyed the Montserrat with Cog-Wheel Train Tour but unfortunately, we booked the tour in French and to our surprise, it was given in Spanish and Italian. When we mentionned this to the tour guide, she told us that it was impossible and would not listen to our comments. We booked the tour in French because my travel companion is not fluent in English and we ended up paying for a service we did not receive. That was a big deception. Not much tours are given in French in Spain and we were looking forward to have all the commentaries in our native tongue.

Very good guide. Not quite enough time at the church - I mean, to go all that way and not be able to go right up to the Black Madonna was a disappointment.

Alberto our guide was brilliant and very informative.
I feel for the price we paid, we should have had at least another hour at Montserrat. We had to REALLY rush our lunch in order to see the choir sing before RUNNING for the coach at 1.30. We went in February and it was relatively quiet there so we did not have to queue to see the Black Madonna. If it had been a busy day I think we would only have had time to see the Madonna and would have got on the bus very hungry for a long ride back to Barcelona. As a family of 4 we paid over E200 for what turned out to be just about 2 hours there (during which we had to find time to eat!). I think it is not really good value for money at that cost for such a mad rush around. I would appreciate YOUR comments.
