5. General Tips, Recommendations and Advice
Tours from the sky are a special treat for any traveller. Some of you may be wondering if there is anything special you should bring for these unique tours.
You must be at the heliport 20 minutes before your flight time. Always bring your voucher and ID card or passport.
Although the last thing we want is for your trip to be cancelled, with tours in the sky we must make safety a number one priority. If we could control the weather to make every flight perfect, we would!
Unfortunately, that is out of our hands, therefore if the weather conditions are unsafe, your flight will be cancelled for security reasons. Your flight will be rescheduled or you will receive a refund.
It can be breezy and feel cool at the top of Montserrat, but keep in mind that the sun is strong. Be sure to pack sunscreen for protection.
Due to the mountain climate, it is also smart to bring layers and something waterproof, as the weather can change quickly. Sneakers or comfortable shoes are recommended, as you will be walking around.
As for choosing the right tour, look through these options with your specific trip in mind.
If you aren´t in Barcelona very long, you may choose a quicker trip. Alternatively, if you want to experience different perspectives of this stunning city, a combined tour may be the best option for you.
