What travelers say about Montse
5.0(61 reviews)- Florence F.5 out of 5Jun 2025
Montse is an excellent guide. I highly recommend her. Montse is patient and constantly tried to engage the 2 children in our group by asking them fun questions. She is also full of interesting information for the adults. We fully enjoyed our tour with her.
- Evan L.5 out of 5Jun 2025
Our family took a 3 hour walking tour of the old city of Barcelona with Montse. She is very knowledgeable and personable. She pointed out the geography of Barcelona demonstrating the old compared with the new city. We saw many interesting sites including the cathedral, the Jewish quarter, Roman ruins, the city and Barcelona offices, and many more, We stopped for delicious gelato as per her recommendation. Montse described all of the sites with an engaging style keeping us interested for the entire time. I strongly recommend her!
- Cindy H.5 out of 5Jun 2025
Monster was a great guide with extensive knowledge of Barcelona. We were a very diverse family group, with different walking paces and interests, and she was able to tailor her tour to accommodate that. She made sure to engage our 11-year-old by asking him to find "hidden" items and getting his feedback. We were very pleased.
- Michael C.5 out of 5Jun 2025
Fantastic tour all thanks to Montse. She is Professional, personable, positive and patient. All new tour guides should train with her. If they do they might one day become as excellent as her. We have had tours as good but none better.
- John V.5 out of 5May 2025
Excellent! A well-paced tour of Gaudi’s signature projects. Bypass lines, immediate access. Montse is insightful and very accommodating. Fluent in English, she’s a genuinely nice person, passionate about Barcelona’s history and shares her knowledge in fun and informative ways. 5-stars, highly recommend!
- Denise M.5 out of 5May 2025
Montse was a wonderful guide! With only 3 hours in Barcelona she made we saw the highlights and leaving us yearning gore of this beautiful city. She arranged pick up for 7 (and lots if luggage) with a driver from the airport, highlights of Barcelona, and drop off at the cruise port while working within our late flight and desire to see as much of Barcelona as possible!
