Great hike. Trinidad and Chris were amazing hosts. They provided us with an educational tour of Barcelona and Montserrat Monastery. They are both very knowledgeable and friendly. I would def recommend for anyone looking to see breathtaking views and learn something new.

Bus pickup and drop off in separate locations was annoying. Tour guide, while friendly, spoke too slow and low volume. Hike was all downhill. There was a lot of waiting. Not much info provided outside of boring historical info.

We had a great time in this trip. But IMO it was not a hike. You drive up, then walk down a portion of mountain. It was about an hour walk down on a paved street- it is steep and there is gravel so it can be slick but I would call it more of a walk than a hike. We saw the black Madonna from a distance and had some time to roam around. We booked our trips thru La Vacanza Travel and could not tell the company. This was put on by We Experience. I would search their trips and book more thru in future. They were organized and trip was well run. Trini and Chis were great guides. Unfortunately Monserrat did not cooperate with the weather and views were limited. We still had a nice time and learned a lot.

We really enjoyed the beautiful views and interesting landscape. It is a breathtaking area. Our tour guides were friendly and personable. Be prepared for a significant, steep, lengthy downhill hike. Even after reading reviews I was still surprised at the steep grades ( almost the entire time) and most ares have slick gravel. Think of toes shoved and bumping into the tips of your tennis shoes for the duration, steep. Water, hat, sunscreen and proper shoes are critical. This is not a tour for those that have any mobility issues or lack strength for intense downhill walking. It is a beautiful area and worth the trip if you are prepared. The tour needs to do a better job at describing the significance of hike.
