Horseback riding was beautiful and fantastic, farm and guide first rate. Not really enough time at the Monastery to complete the day. Need to look at the description carefully about drop off point (not at pickup location) and horse riding weight restrictions.

Our tour guides were fantastic - for the Monastery and our horseback riding portion. They were knowledgeable, fun, and easy to talk to. Of course the sites were amazing. We even saw a monk which we hear is rare. The riding portion was phenomenal. We had those with experience and those with none and the guides and horses were fantastic. And the scenery! Highly recommend this company and this tour.

Enjoyed peaceful, gentle ride in the valley below Montserrat. Breathtaking views of valley from train riding up the mountain to the monastery. Unexpected beauty in the art and historic buildings of the monastery “village”.
