Maria entiende el tipo de tour que quieres hacer y sabe cómo adaptarlo para que lo disfrutes al máximo. Se preocupó por hacer PRERESERVAS en El Coro de los niños y para entradas a La Virgen morena, sabía que nos encantaría la experiencia y de no hacerlo con anticipación no lo hubiéramos logrado. Gracias María, por haber hecho que con Antonio, un excelente Guía, pasáramos momentos para recordar y traer a México. Antonio estuvo siempre al pendiente de nosotros, nos dio la información necesaria y nos llevó a rincones que no pudiéramos haber ido por nuestra cuenta por desconocer que existían, nos tomó FOTOS LINDÍSIMAS, nos puso en la fila 2 de los niños cantores y LA CERESA DEL PASTEL, compartió con nosotros EL RINCONCITO especial para tomar una cervecita y ver unas vistas maravillosas. No tuvimos oportunidad de convivir contigo pero Antonio es Genial. EL TOUR IDEAL cuando el tiempo apremia

We were fortunate enough to have Maria as our guide for Montserrat on Good Friday. Maria provided a knowledgeable and entertaining tour of the complex and she also was able to accommodate our request to access the church service. It required her to be nimble and pre-arrange and re-arrange what I assume would have been the normal tour but the entire experience was outstanding. Definitely recommend Maria and a day spent at Montserrat.

Maria was well organized, thoroughly informed, very congenial in person, and very considerate of our needs and interests.She definitely maximized our experience at Montserrat, a tour I encourage everyone to take, especially if rather can secure Maria's services.

Maria was full of information to share about the Monastery and mountain. She allowed time for snacks and had great timing for seeing the church and choir! She knew right where to sit for best viewing and listening too. As a little bonus we got to see a rare wedding there too! Thanks Maria!
