It’s about a 50 minute trip by bus to the train station. Then 15 minutes on the cogwheel train. There is a lot to see and do. We did the lunch option- very good! Then wine tasting. There is about 90 minutes of free time built into the tour. We went to the Art Gallery/museum. Great tour guides. Good excursion.

We had a great time and I really recommend the experience! The best value is in the entertaining bus ride and the Montserrat visit. The wine tasting was pretty good. You go into a private room and try 3 wines (which was a unique experience even though they weren’t my favorite) and tapas, which were filling. Delph was an absolutely wonderful tour guide!

It was an amazing tour! Everything was seamless. Xavi was an incredibly knowledgeable guide, providing incredible insight into the history of Barcelona and Catalonia during the drive out. He provided great detail on the history of Montserrat and made great recommendations on how to best use the free time. The winery tour was great too, and they went extra steps to ensure that food restrictions were accommodated. This is a great way to spend the day outside Barcelona!
