    Booked 2 trips a day trip with free time and then the following week for afternoon free time and fountain show. The guide Theresa was amazing, giving knowledge in a fun and friendly manner, even on the second trip had Angel (driver) turn around to pick up someone who didnt go to the right hotel and still made people feel at ease. She clearly loves her job and is a real asset to the TUI brand.

    From pick up to drop off in Barcelona for free time was 3 hours! Mainly because we had to drop football stadium visitors off. Surely this should’ve been a separate trip as it cut into our time in the city. Then the visit to the fountains was cut short at 10pm before the display was finished. Very poor value.

    It was a good day overall just a few things that could be changed. Our tour guide upon picking us up was rude, no hello or good afternoon just “ your were meant to be at the other roundabout “ on our pick up point it didn’t state what roundabout as there was two at our hotel. But other than that she did a good job of telling us about the history etc or Barcelona. Unfortunately we hit traffic so that delayed a lot of our free time. And the down side is you only get half hour at the fountain show

    Dislike - On coach 3.30 hours, due to being 1st to be picked up and 2 trips merged into 1. Delay on motorway, not drivers fault, accident. Only 3.30 hours in Barcelona and we had to dine in this time as back to hotel 11.30pm. Should be noted on itinerary prior to booking journey time. Would have been useful to be issued with street map. Magic fountain was fabulous. Tracy very knowledgeable.

    Driver and guide were brilliant. Picked us up on time and were helpful and informative the whole time. However, I didn’t know that it would take quite so long to get from Cambrils to Barcelona via Salou. It must have been over an hour before we were properly on our way and I didn’t know we were stopping at Nou Camp so it was 3 hours from pickup to arriving in Barcelona. If I’d known that I probably would have just got a train that takes half that time.

Monastery of Montserrat Skip-the-Line Guided Tour

As the spiritual heart of Catalonia, Montserrat is one of Europe's top pilgrimage sites. This famous Benedictine abbey occupies a striking location at the foot of towering rock formations in the Montserrat mountain range near Barcelona, Spain. You'll have the chance to visit the Vestry and see the statue of La Moreneta. Hugo, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Thought to have been carved in Jerusalem in the early years of Christianity, the famous ‘Moreneta' or Black Madonna is a sacred wooden statue of the Virgin Mary and the infant Jesus. The Black Madonna is one of the most important pilgrimage sites in Spain.'Firstly, a train will take you more than 700 metres up to Spain's largest Benedictine monastery. You'll enjoy exclusive access to the beautifully decorated vestry and skip the line to see the statue of La Moreneta. The monastery complex consists of several buildings, including the basilica, the sacristy, the choir stalls, the library, and the museum. The basilica was built in the 19th century and it's a prime example of neo-Gothic architecture. The monastery is also served by a renowned boys' choir, the Escolania de Montserrat, which dates back to the 14th century, making it one of the oldest in Europe.As you look around, you can sample the herb liqueur made by the monks and watch the brand new, interactive audio-visual presentation on Montserrat's history. And don't miss the chance to buy tickets for the funicular to the summit – the views of the Llobregat valley from the top are phenomenal.

Barcelona city tour

Barcelona continually tops Europe's city break charts – it's a buzzing metropolis with enough wow-factor sights to bowl any visitor over. Discover Poble Espanyol, Sagrada Familia, Las Ramblas, Plaça Espanya and Montjuïc hill. Martina, one of our expert local guides, says ‘Originally built for an exhibition almost 100 years ago, Poble Espanyol is a ‘village' which is home to 117 replicas of some of Spain's most celebrated architectural gems. The onsite fine art museum has works by Picasso, Dalí and Miro on display, and lots of local artisans make and sell their handicrafts here.'After a look around Poble Espanyol, the next stop offers the chance to see the striking exterior of the Sagrada Familia, a church resembling a wave-worn sandcastle – the most famous legacy of legendary local architect Antoni Gaudi. Martina adds, ‘Construction began on the Sagrada Familia way back in 1882. The current estimated completion date is 2026 – meaning that the building will be completed 100 years after Gaudí died. I think he would be proud to see how well his ideas have been realised.'You'll then have plenty of free time to explore Barcelona under your own steam. Maybe take a stroll along the pedestrianised Las Ramblas and visit La Boqueria indoor market where you could opt to try some of the tasty treats on offer. A panoramic drive through Plaça Espanya and over Montjuïc Mountain, with its bird's-eye views of the city and waterfront, round off the day before heading back to base.
