It was easy to buy tickets via Headout. And the tips about ticket redemption, etc made things easy. We didnt know untill we arrived at Montserrat that two other tickets were included in the bundle. One was for the museum which was lovely and the other was for an audio/video presentation accessed through the gift store And of course the mountains, church and Black Madona were amazing

The booking experience was very good and the excursion was an excellent value! Isabele, our tour guide was very informative, charming and funny; the only clarification needed in the description is that the train down runs on the weekends only and during the week, the way down is via gondola.
