When I booked this tour it included going inside the basilica to see the black Madonna but when we got to the tour operator they said they’ve recently changed the terms and they charge extra for that and charged us 30 extra euros

The farmhouse lunch was not exactly as we pictured it - though it was at a local area restaurant ( a bit too far from Montserrat), the pork was actually pork hocks with little meat so a proper menu with actual choices described would be better. The winery tour was very good along with charcuterie /tasting and Adrian was a great story teller. The food with tasting was very welcome.
Our driver/ tour guide was scary to watch but we didn’t have an accident luckily.
We arrived at their office at 8am as requested but were not dropped off until almost 7pm. It was way too long a day for anyone. Our entire group agreed.

This was a must do during our trip to Spain. We met our guides, Xavier and Xavier, at the meeting spot (super easy to find) , then drove in a super clean van to Montserrat with Xavier pointing out different landmarks along the way. Montserrat was beautiful and we were able to see the Black Madonna . We decided to take the tram to the top of Montserrat and then walk to the cross and down, but sadly, the trail wasn’t clearly marked, so we we continued walking down the hill and never saw it. In hindsight, we should’ve walked to the cross from the bottom of Montserrat and back, and then explored the are. Going up the tram really wasn’t a good use of our time, and I don’t feel the views were really any better than from the base.
After seeing the BlackMadonna, we had a wonderful lunch at an old farmhouse and then wine tasting at an organic winery. It was the perfect trip !!!
