This a great walk that is expertly guided by Fermi. He is very knowledgable and passionate about the Monserrat region. You will need a little bit of fitness, but as any good guide does, he goes at your pace. The provided lunch was tasty. If you want to find the hidden gems of this area. the i cannot recommend them enough. Than you for a great day.

I went for a guided Montserrat tour and it was the best guided tour I have ever booked 😁 I felt safe, but also challanged a bit (to climb some spectacular areas). I came back to hostel tired, happy and proud. Mix of fantastic emotions ❤️ Can't recommend Fermi enough. This trip could not be any better. Fantastic guide, fantastic time!

We ended up getting a personal tour of Monserrat from Femi as we were the only ones on the trip that day! Femi was great and took to three peaks all with amazing views. One was a place where there were no other tourists so you could really enjoy the tranquility. You could tell Femi loved Monserrat and he shared with us that he is aiming to climb every peak with his wife - I think they are currently on 170ish of 208!

Really loved it, amazing hike and the guide was really nice. Good lunch provided. Was an authentic sandwich. Get to see the black madona.

My teenage daughters and I booked this trip for our last day on a 10-day trip to Spain. Unfortunately, we could not hike in the forest near Montserrat due to forest fire restrictions. Fermi found an alternative hike for us further north. Without telling us about the hike or asking us our comfort level or fitness level, he took us on a very strenuous hike up and down two mountains. It was extremely hot. While we had water and food, it wasn’t enough for the difficulty of the hike. My older daughter’s knee hurt due to the climbing up and down rocks; she has ACL reconstructive surgery on the knee and needs to be careful. After the trip I began vomiting due to dehydration. Once I got back to the US, I was hospitalized for dehydration. This was a bad way to end a great trip. I would not recommend this trip. It was a very bad experience. Lastly, Fermi’s English laungyage skills are sub-par. We could not understand him and he didn’t seem to understand us.
