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.

5.00If you get Eduard as your guide, you’ve truly hit the jackpot. He is enthusiastic, a wealth of local knowledge, and he made us feel welcome and at ease from the very start. As well, our motion-sickness-prone group greatly appreciated his excellent and smooth driving, especially up the winding mountain roads. Along the way, he pointed out landmarks and shared insightful commentary that gave us a deeper insight into Barcelona and the surrounding region. Although we had very poor weather (rain and mist obscured much of the scenery), Eduard’s thoughtful planning made all the difference. He adjusted the schedule to allow more time at the monastery and suggested enjoyable indoor alternatives, including the museum, gift shop, and a café break. Thanks to his warmth and flexibility, we still had a wonderful experience at Montserrat. Thank you, Eduard, for such a lovely afternoon! :)
Cool experience

5.00Marcel was a wonderful host!!! Our weather happened to be not so great for this tour, but Marcel still made the best of it and was very knowledgeable. The rain and fog just obstructed our views of the mountain, but the history was still cool and the Montserrat was beautiful! Would definitely recommend this tour again!
Friendly and knowledgeable local guide!

5.00Eduardo was a fantastic guide for our half-day Monserrat trip. Even though the weather was foggy and we didn't get to see much of the rock formations because of it, he kept us entertained with funny quips and stories of historic events and local legends. He was very friendly and super attentive. We had a great time and would highly recommend Eduardo's services 👍
Great tour and experience!

5.00A well organized day. Our guide Miquel was knowledgeable, good-humoured and friendly. Due to bad knees, we were unable to undertake a small portion of the tour but Miquel made sure we were occupied with an other activity.
