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.

5.00Our guide Miquel was extremely well organized and communicated with us clearly regarding pick up times etc. We thoroughly enjoyed his pleasant manner and good humour and his obvious passion regarding both the subject of the tour and ensuring our enjoyment. Would definitely recommend!
Must do with Miquel

5.00Miquel was an excellent guide. He made it a point to get to know each of us and check in regularly with us to see how we were doing. He provided detailed and very relevant info about Montserrat that provided excellent background context to our visit. He was fun and told lots of witty stories and jokes - and he was “an excellent driver”! When we arrived back at our hotel and discovered we’d left a cell phone behind he immediately offered to help and arranged for his colleague to return it to our hotel. We are deeply grateful and highly recommend him. You can’t go wrong with Miquel!! Joseph, Mary and Andy
Best tour ever!

5.00This tour was perfect for our family: small group (-8 people), easy hotel pickup, and a great mix of group tour with “free time” to explore the area. Additionally, Javi was one of the best tour guides we’ve ever had across any tour we’ve ever done! I was blown away with his knowledge, communication, and personality. He kept the experience easily approachable and brought in his own perspective on some really interesting components of the tour!

5.00Alex our guide was fantastic and very knowledgeable about the history and workings of the monastery and surroundings. You can tell everyone on the mountain knows him and with good reason. He is pleasant and engaging. The Monastery is beautiful and a must see with its mountainside location…worth the drive and with these tickets no wait.
Most awesome morning!

5.00This was an amazing tour. Our guide was Gianfranco and he was so delightful. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the monastery. He picked us up at our hotel along with another couple. We were there about four hours and I know this was worth the fee.
