VELTRA tours & activities, fun things to do

Montserrat é lindo demais. Passeio realizado pela manhã cumprindo todos os horários e tempo disponível para visitação da Igreja e Imagem da Virgem de Montserrat.Parabens!!!

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

The tour was perfect and the local guide was excellent.
The bus was clean et confortable. Even if the tour was given in English, the guide gave to my wife all the informations required in french because she do not speak english

Great day and enjoyed the trip.

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

It was a very nice ride up to the mountains, however, we had to wait on line for over an hour and a half just to see the Black Madonna, only to have to leave before seeing it because we had to return to the bus to return to the city.

A must do tour. Fabulous drive out to Monserrat, sensational views and beautiful scenery when you reach Monserrat. Highly recommended.

Awesome view from the top! I would strongly recommend this tour. I was able to see the Boys Choir sing! Great Experience! Train was good but I wasn't necessary for good views...you can also just take the bus to the top. Do the Montserrat without the train.

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.

Montserrat was beautiful! The trip up the mountain, the scenery, the history and the Boy's Choir - All Not to be missed!

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.

If you have more than two days in Barcelona, then it is worth going to Montserrat and seeing the lovely view from the mountains. We could have spent more time exploring the top of the mountain though. If less than 2 days I would spend more time on the attractions in Barcelona. The guide did not really guide us, she told us a little bit of information on the bus and then we did not see her again until we got back on the bus. You are really just paying for transport and so you could probably find a cheaper option to do this by yourself.

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.

it was a foggy day and we could not see anything about the scenery. the cog-wheel train is not really a recommendation though.
