Welcome on board!
Embark on a once-in-a-lifetime day trip to Montserrat from Barcelona and explore Catalonia's most famous mountain range.
Take in the panoramic views of the mountain scenery as you ride our air-conditioned bus and discover the history of its medieval monastery by the hand of our passionate guides. Then, enjoy free time to explore on your own.
You'll continue towards a beautiful boutique winery (only if Tapas or Lunch options). The cellar also happens to be a 10th century castle owned by the same family for 36 generations with magnificent views of the mountain you just visited. Discover their revival of ancient local grape varieties, which provide a unique glimpse into the region’s rich heritage.
Savour traditional flavors with a light tapas brunch or enjoy a multi-course traditional lunch at the winery (depending on the option selected). After that, learn about the wine-making process, and enjoy a wine-tasting session before traveling back to Barcelona.

We had a wonderful experience on our Montserrat tour with Mayi as our guide. She was very informative and shared so much interesting history and insight throughout the trip. We also had free time to explore on our own, which was perfect for taking in the beautiful views. The wine tasting was an added bonus and made the day even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a relaxing and memorable experience—highly recommend!

This was a fantastic experience! The bus ride was comfortable and relaxing, and Montserrat was beautiful and breathtaking - both the monastery and the gorgeous geographical features of the mountain. We enjoyed learning about its history from our knowledgeable and entertaining tour guide, Xavi. We had plenty of time to go up the funicular and hike back down to where we started before we had to meet back up with the group. The lunch at the winery was delicious and relaxed, and we enjoyed getting to know other people in our group. The wine tasting was educational and fun. We definitely highly recommend this tour!!
