Full description

Experience an unforgettable guided group tour to Montserrat, Catalonia's most famous mountain range. Take in the beauty of its natural rolling landscape and discover the history and traditions of its medieval monastery. After your bus journey from Barcelona, board the cogwheel train up to the monastery and admire the beautiful nature and iconic multi-peaked mountain range of Montserrat. Once at the monastery, your guide will take you on a walking tour of the historical center of the complex. 

Learn about the rich history of the Santa Maria de Montserrat Abbey, an 11th-century monastery that still functions to this day. Entry to the monastery is included in the tour price. Use the allotted free time to wander freely. Plan ahead and book your time slot to visit the famous Black Madonna. See paintings by Picasso, El Greco, and Dali at the Montserrat Museum. During your free time, you can also ride the funicular train up the side of the mountain to get even better viewpoints of the monastery.  Travelers who booked the half-day tour option will return to Barcelona after the visit to Montserrat. If you chose a full-day tour option, you'll continue toward a beautiful boutique winery. Arrive at the winery and, depending on the food option you booked, enjoy a light tapas or multi-course lunch. Admire amazing views of the winery and Montserrat mountains as you feast on traditional foods of the region. After your meal, wander around the vineyards, learn about the wine-making process, and enjoy a wine tasting session, before traveling back to Barcelona.

Our tour guide, Lois, was incredible and made the tour unforgettable. The way he explained the history and importance of everything was fun, engaging, funny and extremely detailed. We went with our 4 month old son and he helped us every step of the way. Highly recommend this tour, so glad we went. It’s a must see and the winery was great as well. 10/10 experience, thank you Lois!

It was a great day trip and our guide Fran was one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had. She was friendly, clear and knowledgeable. The reason for the final fifth star missing is that it was a bit squeezed for time. We got approx 1h15min of free time in Monserrat which meant we did not have time to do all we wanted to do. And on the wine tasting we got approx 30 min of own bar time in the nice terrace area.

It was a wonderful day not only for the incredible monastery, history and location but because of our excellent guide. Yerai truly was exceptional. Excellent Knowledge, humour and helpfulness. He went out of his way to help me obtain tickets to the boys choir. A wonderful tour. Highly recommended. Lynda and Lindsay, Australia
