Escape the crowds and experience Montserrat at its most peaceful. This early morning small group tour is designed for those who want to enjoy the mountain in a calm, unhurried way — with time to truly take in its natural beauty and spiritual essence.
As you arrive, you’ll hear the gentle chirping of birds and breathe in the fresh mountain air, surrounded by lush green trees. Travel comfortably to Montserrat, just 50 km (30 mi) from Barcelona, and enjoy a relaxed visit to the famous Basilica. Then, walk among the stunning jagged peaks and admire panoramic views without the usual bustle.
This quiet start to the day lets you connect deeply with the landscape and the atmosphere — before most visitors arrive. You’ll return to Barcelona with the whole afternoon ahead of you to continue exploring at your own pace.

We'll pick you up at 8:00 am in front of Olivia Plaza Hotel in Barcelona to arrive to Montserrat at early morning and avoid all the hussle and long queues. We'll head straight to Montserrat in semi-private and comfortable transportation with a small group, approximately an hour drive away. On the way, you'll admire Montserrat mountains, while getting close, you will enjoy how roads become tighter and how greener and fresher it gets. Once at the top, your guide will take you on a walking tour through the monastery explaining the geological formation of the mountain and the history of the virgin (Black Madonna). We'll visit the Basilica where you can attend a mass and enjoy the beautiful interior design, and see the unique chapels accompanied by your guide. Please, note that we will reserve tickets for you, and we will collect the ticket price entrance upon tour check-in. Price: 6€

The perfect experience. Our tour guide Sophie was incredibly knowledgeable and toured us at our own pace. We were met and picked up promptly and once we got to our location we were able to take a little break for coffee and pastries. Since it is a early experience we had not had our morning coffee. Monserrat is must see the views are gorgeous the architecture and history are something to be taken in. The museum and mini hike up for majestic views are worth it. There was local farmers market set up near the entry and exit and we were able to try cheeses from the area and treats prior to leaving. Amazing way to start the morning and allow for more adventure in your afternoon.
