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.

Be aware that in the summer months the transport is normally a coach, and in the winter is usually a minibus.

Please note:

"Monastery" refers to the entire complex, not just where monks live. This is included in the tour

"Basilica" (literal church interior) is included only with the selected option.

"Throne Room" with the Black Madonna is not included.

The trip really worked out well . While it is possible to go to montserrat with a combination of trains and bus it is quite complicated . Comfortable journey .fairly scenic after we leave the city .Montserrat monastery and other attractions are quite wonderful . The guide leaves u after reaching and we had sufficient time to explore including the Black Maddoba nd the funicular railway . We knew that tickets at the sites were extra .
This was a great trip,...

This was a great trip, our guide, sorry I don't remember his name he was from the UK and did a great job. We had plenty of time on our own to explore about 3 hours to hike and see shops get a quick lunch. We didn't feel rushed at all.
The very passionate guide,...

Montserrat is a beautiful place and I do highly recommend visiting. However, for £37 per person all this trip really offers is transport to the place. Francisco was very nice and informative but I do think for an hour ride, it is a bit overpriced. You get about three hours once you get there, we did one of the hikes and had just enough time. I suppose I just wished the trip had a little bit more structure for almost £40 per person and not just a transfer with a bit of history behind the monastery.

From €38.00
