Beautiful Montjuic. The guide was incredible, providing many good insights and valuable recommendations to enjoy Barcelona. Recommended!
Muchas Gracias por tu comentario!
We took this tour after meeting Maria, on a 3-hour tour of downtown Barcelona. We loved the Montjuic mountain and all its history. The views are spectacular.
¡Muchas gracias por tu comentario!
Maria was an excellent tour guide. She was energetic and informative throughout the tour, and she was patient with us allowing us plenty of rest stops along the way.
Thank you very much for your review. It was truly a pleasure to be your guide for such an enjoyable and fun group.
This is a private tour not a Group tour. Our Guide was very friendly wanting to provide a very good tour which she did. She was passionate about her city and its history and very well informed and current. She was very attentive to our situation being in our 70’s and the day being very hot. We highly recommend this tour
Thank you very much for your kind review. It was truly a pleasure to have you on the tour and to be your guide. I also greatly enjoyed the experience and will fondly remember meeting such a lovely couple. I sincerely hope you have the opportunity to return to Barcelona in the future. It would be a pleasure to welcome you again
Maria is a great guide; we took two tours with her, and the experience was incredible. She responded quickly when we arrived at the meeting point. She has extensive knowledge of the history of the sites. Finally, she made a reservation for us at a typical Catalan restaurant, which was the perfect conclusion to our trip. I recommend it 100%.
¡Muchas gracias por vuestro comentario! ¡Ha sido un placer ser su guía!
I booked this tour after meeting Maria on a tour of the center, the spectacular views, the mountain is very beautiful and we loved the whole story behind. It's worth it!
Muchas Gracias Jaume!
Maria is the best! Traveling alone and with very limited Spanish I was worried about the success of my trip until I met Maria. Not only was she very informative during my Viator Montjuic tour she was concerned about helping me make the rest of my time in Barcelona fantastic. Her knowledge of the history of the city was excellent even in the small details. I would highly recommend a tour with Maria!
Thank you so much for your review, Helen. It was a real pleasure meeting you and accompanying you during your stay in Barcelona. Thank you for your trust, and we hope to see you again soon.
It is the second tour we did with Maria, we are a group of elderly people, and we loved the spectacular views and the guide very friendly and attentive to our needs and pace.
Muchas Gracias por vuestra reseña, nos encanta adaptarnos a las necesidades de nuestros clientes, esperamos verlas pronto por aqui!
We had a great time! My 6-year-old son was thrilled with the Olympic Ring and the cable car ride. The guide was super friendly and knowledgeable; she even gave him a balloon to entertain him while we queued for the cable car. The views of the city were spectacular and, during a rest break, the guide, Maria, gave us a taste of fuet, a typical sausage here. Highly recommended!
It was interesting tour of the site. The tour guide, Maria was very friendly and engaging. It would have been nice to go inside the castle, also several of the stops were unexpectedly closed, which was disappointing.
Thank you very much for your review. We’re really glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour and had a great experience with Maria 😊 Unfortunately, Montjuïc sometimes hosts events that require certain areas to be closed, such as the Olympic Ring, especially during concerts, like the one that took place that day. These are situations beyond our control, but we completely understand how this can be disappointing. Regarding the castle, we do indicate in the tour description that entrance to monuments is not included. We hope to see you again soon in Barcelona and provide you with an even better experience.
