This was one of the best day trips during our 2-week trip to Spain. Laila, our tour guide, was exceptional! She explained everything very well and was very much conscientious of the needs of the people in the tour. The tour is well-organized. Everyone is given a one-way bluetooth headset so that you can hear clearly the guide speaking.

We had a terrific tour. The balance of guided time versus free time was perfect, both at the Colonia and at Montserrat. Our guide was very knowledgeable, and enhanced our appreciation of both destinations. It was a delight to hear the boys choir sing. I recommend this tour highly.

This is a trip not to be missed. While there are a multitude of trips to Montserrat I didn't see any other trips that included Colonia Guell and the Gaudi Crypt, indeed I hadn't heard about the Gaudi Crypt but would highly recommend it if you have the chance to go. The crypt had all the components of La Sagrada Familia. Montserrat itself is beautiful. I would highly recommend the art gallery as the collection is really amazing. _br/_ If you are looking to join an organised tour to Montserrat then this is the one to get.

Very well organised and informative tour. We both really enjoyed the day. A good mix of organised part and free time.

The works of Gaudi intrigue me and seeing the Gaudi Crypt and having his works and imaginations explained to us by our tour guide were so impressive. I would have liked more time in the town though to really appreciate it. The views driving up to Monsterrat have to be seen to be believed. We experienced a real treat at the school. We not only had a closeup of the students singing and the black Madonna but we were also given an inside tour of the boys school. A really great experience

I sent my parents and my 8 and 9 year old children on this tour. They came back raving about their day. Their tour guide Alex was very informative and they had exclusive access to a few things that many other tours did not provide. They loved hearing the boys choir sing. They were also very intrigued by the things they learned in Colonia Guell. They had packed a lunch to bring with them which made it possible for them to make the most of their free time. They truly had a wonderful experience.

Brilliant trip. From colony Guell and Gaudis crypt to the thrilling train trip up Montserrat and the spectacular view, from the beautiful singing of the boys choir to the wonderful guide Lyla that gave us the background to what we were seeing and answered every one's questions this trip was amazing. We also visited the art gallery at Montserrat which was interesting. It did rain so we didn't climb any higher than the monastery but we were able to appreciate the view before the rain. Well worth doing. We also visited the black Madonna and I found it quite moving.

Glad we took this trip as the Colonia Guell was as interesting if not more than the Montserrat. Also the private tour of the school and private viewing area with quick access to the black madonna - all made the trip much more interesting and enjoyable.

I really enjoyed this tour - Colonia Guell was very interesting and our guide very knowledgeable. Montserrat was amazing! Although it was a cloudy day with some rain at the end it was still an awesome experience and there was lots to do - I highly recommend the museum as there are some incredible painters on display there!

Stunning. And visiting the Gaudi Crypt was helpful as we went to the church in Barcelona the next day. A great guide. She had lots of helpful information for us. It was also nice to skip some lines at Monserrat.

I really enjoyed this tour - we had a relatively small group. The guide was very good. Definitely buy a ticket to go up the funicular - really worth it.

Very nice tour, very informative.

I really enjoyed my day especially Montserrat which is quite amazing. Not so much Gaudi Crypt as it wasn't what I expected and I also felt we spent too long at the village. I personally would rather have had longer time at Montserrat.
Review by: Pablo V, June 2017
Very nice tour. The Gaudi Crypt is beautiful and very interesting, since it was Gaudi's studio or lab where he designed most of what he later used in designing the BasÃlica of the Sagrada Familia. Colonia Guell is nice. Montserrat is very beautiful from the outside, the ride in the rack train was fun and you must definitely buy the ticket to ride the funicular to the top of the mountain. The guided tour inside the monastery was less than what I expected. All in all, what made this tour really good was Carlos, our guide. Very professional and really knew his stuff.

Guide Mark was good. Montserrat was not great. Gaudi Crypt was wonderful.
Review by: Anica A, April 2017
Great tour with combination of more recent history and architecture at Colonia Guell and ancient history at Montserrat. Good amounts of time spent in each location, enough to see the sights but not so much that the day was exhausting. Drive time wasn't too bad and the guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. Surprise finding was the art museum at Montserrat with a fantastic collection of Catalan modernism works.
Review by: George Z, April 2017
Great experience. Wasn't sure what to expect from the Colonia Guell and Guadi Crypt but found that part of the tour to be very interesting. I especially appreciated the Guadi Crypt and learning a bit about his architectural approach before going on to see Sagrada Familia later in my stay. The context on a smaller scale was helpful to better appreciate Sagrada Familia.

The instructions were clear on paper. We found the man who distributed radios and left with another tour guide. Fifel carried a small flag, went thru with the group and shared the history of the Eiffel. He was very knowlegeable, pretty funny and offered to take me and my hiusband's picture. We enjoyed the views and the tour guide took time for us to ask questions, if any. We enjoyed the tour, most specially the Seine River cruise, which also had a glimpse of where we were going. Pretty spectacular package. Thank you!
