I knew nothing of Montserrat before our visit to Barcelona but friends told me we should visit. I’m glad we did. Our tour with Francesc was a great way to see Montserrat. He knew th history as well as the schedule so that we avoided the long lines that formed at times. We greatly enjoyed the tour and highly recommend it.

We had a great tour with Francesc. He’s exceptionally knowledgeable and very personable. We walked through the market to the cathedral and then to the fountains through beautiful Barcelona. Among my favorite points of interest was the old kings palace where Columbus presented his findings upon return for the New World.

We really enjoyed this tour. Francesc was very knowledgeable about the city and the Gothic and Jewish quarter. It’s a lot of walking, but we would never have seen the things we did, if we tried to do it on our own. Francesc commentary of the area helped us understand the history of the jews in Barcelona in the 13th and 14th centuries. The Jewish area itself was not that large, and the «small» temple was not as I has imagined. Very worth while for Jews and non jews alike
Francesc’s Response: Thank you Leon. You are right: for Jewish and no Jewish. Unfortunately Jewish people were expelled from the Aragon Crown and Castilla in the XVth Century and it’s just in this last decades that we are doing efforts to recover their memory. Thank you for letting me show it.

I would highly recommend Francesc. We began communicating 6 months prior to our cruise and I found him very responsive and knowledgeable. He communicated frequently and developed a great 4 hour tour of the city including transportation to our cruise ship.
