Montserrat and De Poblet Monastery - Reduced group hotel pick up from Barcelona
Description
This is not your typical sightseeing tour. It is an experience designed for those who want to discover Catalonia for real, accompanied by a genuine and passionate guide, who transforms each story into something alive and close. Montserrat, the spiritual heart of Catalonia. Its impressive mountain range and Benedictine monastery keep centuries of history and legends. There you will meet La Moreneta, while enjoying a landscape of unique mountains and spectacular views. Poblet Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This majestic Cistercian ensemble is a place of peace and beauty, where time seems to have stopped. Its stone cloisters and galleries invite silence and contemplation. What makes this tour special is not only the places, but the way to live them. There are no long speeches or dull explanations: there are stories, anecdotes and shared moments. Every stop becomes a conversation, every corner an experience.

De Poblet was truly amazing - I enjoyed visiting all the buildings there very much, not only the church but also the areas where the monks lived. The videos there were excellent. My guide was fabulous, top-notch. Montserrat was OK too, though I would have liked to visit the museum (as was said to be included in the Viator description).
