Our guide was very knowledgeable about both the geography and history of the Montserrat area. He was engaging and made the hike and tour an enjoyable experience.

Bernat was a wonderful guide and we had a fun group of 7 (US, UK, New Zealand, Portugal) of all different ages (20s -60s). The trip left on time from Barcelona at 8 am on a Sunday and there was no traffic on the way up to Monserrat. We took an 8 person van and it was very comfortable (a/c was not the best but otherwise just fine). The hike and views are unbelievable - Bernat was knowledgable and not shy about offering his opinions on anything you asked. He knew a lot about the ecology of the area and knew the trails extremely well. He made sure the group stayed together and stopped along the way to add to our knowledge of the mountain. A great way to spend a day—we returned around 2:45 pm. Highly recommended! Some reminders—pack a lunch, pack water (enough for a good hike), wear proper shoes (some of the hike is concrete path but other parts are dirt and stone trail) close toed hiking or sneakers with good grip are important, wear a hat and sunscreen if you need it and bring sunglasses. It is hot and exposed to the sun for probably half the hike. I have hiked many places and I would consider this a moderate 5 mile (total) hike. I would very much recommend this or any other adventure with this group!

Bernard was a fantastic host with great energy, knowledge and passion for his work.
He has lots of information to share and clearly had an amazing understanding of the area, feel free to ask him as many questions as possible!
Great company, everything was as described and I couldn't be happier, I will definitely be using them again. 11/10
