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.

    Good value for money, if you want a day out and like the mountains this is great. Only issue is our guide over loaded is with information and made it all a bit confusing. Some times too much information can be over whelming and not needed. However he was a nice man

    Great tour of this stunning place! Highly recommend doing this early in the day if possible as it may get hot and more crowded in afternoon. We had a beautiful day, with light breeze and clear skies to see the incredible views around every turn. The hike can be strenuous but not bad if you’re in reasonably good shape and wear shoes meant for walking on sometimes rugged trails. The tour guide Francisco was very knowledgeable on the history of the monastery, Basílica and surrounding area. The driver was very professional and knew how to navigate the twists and turns getting up the mountain. So glad my husband and I booked this tour.

    I booked the tour to the Monastery of Montserrat which had a guide option in Spanish and English. The reservation was confirmed in English. I contacted the Enterprise asking the guide to speak Spanish. On the day of the tour the guide said that afterwards he would explain to me in Spanish. I downloaded an English translator app on my mobile, which was my salvation. When Pq arrived in Montserrat, I went to talk to the guide and he was rude, saying he didn't understand me. I'm Brazilian. I took the tour for the little I could understand in the translator. I didn't want him to tell the whole story in Spanish, I just wanted him to explain what could be done and the other directions, like the return time of the bus, which he didn't do. I wanted to see if I had missed the bus schedule, what would be his attitude...After all, the place is very beautiful, the tour is worth it but I found the guide Francisco very robotic, without any empathy with the customer....

    The tour guide worked a bit too hard .. in the wrong way, he kept reading script loudly non stop for 1hr on the way to the place then another 1/2hr on the way back despite most guys wanted to take a nap after an exhausting trip. He was back facing the group so for sure he didn’t know most ppl felt annoyed by his load and strong ascent voice shoving into everyone’s ear. The tour place is mediocre anyway, painful to visit. wouldn’t recommend at all.
