What To Expect
Montana de Montserrat
The Rocky Massif of Montserrat has been declared as Natural Park in 1987, and characterised by the rounded shape of its peaks. This incredible 4000-foot wonder is easily recognizable by its ''serrated'' top from which it got his name. Once you reach the monastery, you have plenty of options and your guide will always adjust to your interests. We invite you to take an easy walk of around 30 min to enjoy one of the most astonishing views of the natural park, but if you wish you can also decide to enjoy other activities that the mountain offers.
Abadia de Montserrat
Montserrat Basilica, located in the stunning Montserrat mountain range in Catalonia, Spain, is a revered site of pilgrimage and natural beauty. Known for housing the famous statue of the Black Madonna, La Moreneta, the basilica is a significant spiritual and cultural landmark. Its breathtaking setting amidst rocky cliffs offers panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, making it a popular destination for both worshippers and tourists alike. Visitors can explore the basilica's rich history, beautiful architecture, and serene atmosphere, all while experiencing the spiritual energy that has drawn people since 12th century.

Jose, yes! Operator ... no.

3.00Our guide Jose was excellent and was so passionate about sharing Barcelona and Montserrat - it was a great trip. He made sure we got all of our tour time and extended the day to account for the hour it took to pick up everyone. Two things - first, it took an hour driving around town to pick everyone up. Jose made sure we all had the full time on the tour we paid for, but that also meant the day went much longer than planned. This was no fault of Jose's, but rather the operator that put the group together. Because of the extended timeframe, we were unable to get back into Barcelona in time to have dinner with friends that we had planned. Second, the tour description mentioned being able to taste 4 liquors that are made at the Abby, but it wasn't actually part of the tour and was not free (or included). We were expecting that the tasting was a part of the tour and passed on other sampling opportunities to enjoy Montserrat. The description should really point out that the tasting is not included and is an additional cost. Still, our time with Jose was very rewarding and informative, even with the logistical challenges.
A great experience

5.00Pick up and drop off at hotel was very convenient. Our guide, Teo, was professional, knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. The small group of 8 was nice. Montserrat is beautiful inside and out. Overall, a great experience.
Definitely worth the trip!

4.00Definitely a worthwhile experience. The black Madonna and monastery are incredible. I recommend that you include an up close visit to the Madonna. It is really difficult to get a picture from below. Our tour guide, Alex was good and knowledgeable about the history. The one improvement we would suggest is a microphone in the vehicle. Sitting in the back, and next to a speaker that had music playing low, we missed much of what he was saying.
Great tour

5.00It’s a great way to see this area but if you want to do more than one activity like see the museum and hike up the mountain to see the cross, etc. you need the whole day. It was still a wonderful trip.
Best tour guide!
