A small-group half-day escape from Barcelona to Montserrat Monastery by cogwheel lift, with an easy hike, cloister visit, and mountain views.
“Excellent day trip, our guide was awesome and explained in details all the main points”
Half-day Montserrat from Barcelona: funicular views, 11th-century monastery and Black Madonna, short pilgrim hike, small group $74.
“Juan was the best tour guide for our trip. He was so informative and we all love the history, enthusiasm and helpful commentary. The monastery was nice but the big value was the beautiful hike and history. We had many tours in Barcelona that we love so to our surprise that this last one was the best. You will appreciate this tour if you like hikes and amazing vistas. Make sure you sample the Montserrat liqueurs from local shops.”
Montserrat by cable car and funicular from Barcelona: monastery visit, easy hike, and big views from above in a small group.
“Excellent tour. Short ride from Barcelona. Only 8 people so that was nice. Guide was excellent and so knowledgeable.”
A small-group Costa Brava hike with snorkeling, optional cliff jumps, and a satisfying tapas-style meal after a coastal walk.
“Nacho was a fantastic tour guide. He made sure we all felt included & brought a lot of fun into the group.”
Beat Montserrat crowds on an early van trip from Barcelona: Abbey and Black Madonna first, then a local hiking loop with views.
“Highly recommended trip! In the morning there is no crowd, it’s a wonderful time to hike, the views are amazing. Our guide Albert told us many interesting things about Barcelona and Monserrat and he was really well organised, punctual and friendly. His mini van is brand new and full of great books about surroundings - at least riffle it! Taste local liquers after the hike :) And take closed shoes - I did it in Teva sandals but it’s probably not a good idea unless you’re in shape and used to it.”
Small-group hike through Montserrat Natural Park plus a guided monastery visit from Barcelona, with skip-the-line tickets and mountain views.
“Had such a great experience with our tour guide Bernard! He was very kind and knowledgeable of the flora and fauna of Monserrat. The excursion its self was very well balanced of history and hiking and had a great time overall :)”
Walk the Camí de Ronda, snorkel clear Mediterranean coves, try optional cliff jumps, then eat local in Costa Brava from Barcelona.
“was such a great experience, my guide blondie definitely made it worth it! super knowledgeable and great guy all around. easy ride there, and the hike was pretty easy and the views were stunning. great lunch after at a local restaurant, overall such a fun and unforgettable experience!”
Small-group Montserrat hike plus a Benedictine Abbey visit. Early start, off-beaten trails, 360° views, and skip-the-line entry.
“We enjoyed out tour with Chris. Despite a cloudy weather he had a back up plan for us. Very knowledgeable about history and nature.”
Montserrat monastery, an easy-but-uphill hike, then Sitges by the sea from Barcelona. Small-group day trip with guide and tickets.
“I really enjoyed this tour with Alan. He is such a great guide. It is really worth it and I highly recommend the whole experience. Thank you!”
