★★★ Monserrat was amazing...but tour guide part was hard to hear Montserrat was breathtaking and a definite must see when in Barcelona. The only reason I deducted stars was because we could not hear the tour guide most of the time. Other tour guides we saw at Montserrat used microphone/headsets to hear what the guide was saying. This tour did not so unless you were standing right next to the guide you didn't hear anything. If they would have used headsets/microphone I would have gJanet B · 2026-09-22 · via Viator
