Our tour guide, Miri, was the absolute BEST! She was so knowledgeable about Monserrat and the area surrounding. She infused the information with lighthearted jokes and her own favorite sights. Everything was well-run and punctual. We got to see the shrine of the Black Madonna, sample local spirits and cookies, go to the various chapels, and travel on the cog-wheel train (only up the mountain included, but you can pay extra to ride an additional train during free time). There are two gift shops and a small restaurant by the shrine.
