Escape the bustle of Barcelona with a guided bus tour to the breathtaking Montserrat mountains.

Meet your guide in the city center and enjoy a short, scenic bus ride to the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Upon arrival, explore the stunning mountainside monastery and learn its rich history.

Choose the basilica option to visit the church interior, or enjoy 3 hours of free time: hike the hills, savour a buffet lunch with panoramic views, or visit the museum. We recommend taking the funicular (extra cost) for unforgettable vistas.

After your adventure, return to Barcelona in the afternoon, 6 hours after departure.

    Ewan was an amazing guide full of knowledge and humor. Highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to experience Montserrat. We had enough time to do some hiking after exploring the monastery.

    The bus ride was great and so much history was told. I wish there were physical maps of the trails with ratings from easy to difficult handed out before arriving as I do not speak Spanish. I found the ones at Montserrat difficult to read. I hiked to St. Joan and it took most of my time. Also, if a guide has a small group for the Basílica, they should honor those who paid and not pick up an additional 20 from the group, thus denying us the privilege of seeing the black Virgin as anticipated. This part of the trip was too rushed and too short.

    It was the perfect amount of time to explore with good info at the beginning as well as a general explanation of the layout of the monastery and grounds.
