Montserrat was beautiful, and I'm glad we went. The audio guide sound quality could have been better in some spots though.
The meeting point was easy to find which was a relief with a few other tours meeting there. Overall the visit to Montserrat was really nice and calm.
蒙特塞拉特很适合拍照，光线和建筑都很棒。人有点多，不过我还是拍到了很多喜欢的照片。修道院值得一去。
عندما وصلت، كان مكان الالتقاء واضحًا جدًا ومحددًا. لقد تعلمت الكثير عن تاريخ الدير من خلال الجولة الصوتية. كانت الرحلة مريحة بشكل عام.
Even with the expected queue for the rack railway, things moved smoothly. The whole visit felt peaceful and awe-inspiring, especially the choral performance. It was a great day.
The tour itself was wonderful, especially the wine tasting afterwards. However, the audio guide's pacing felt a bit quick for some of the historical sections.
