We went to Montserrat with children and friends! There were 7 people, everyone got into a small bus.
The car is new and comfortable. The guide is a pleasant young man, everything was well told and shown. Well, Montserrat … it makes no sense to say anything about him, you must see him !!! I advise everyone to visit this wonderful place!

Montserrat is one of the most wonderful places I have ever seen!!!! My husband and I really liked it. Dmitry took us from our apartments in the morning at 9-30. We drove for about an hour, on the way he told us about the black maiden, it was interesting … the road passed quickly without being noticed. We parked very close to the monastery and went for a walk. Extraordinary beauty!!! We stood in line to the Virgin of Montserrat … made a wish, as usual! Then we reached the square of the cross to look at the whole complex. The tour was interesting! Thanks a lot guys
