Full description
The experience starts in the upper part of Passeig de Gràcia, before journeying to experience the natural splendor of Montserrat, Catalonia’s most emblematic mountain. Topped by a Benedictine Monastery, Montserrat is an ideal half-day trip to spend a fun day in nature, just a few kilometers away from Barcelona. On the way to the Monastery, admire the Massif of Montserrat, a spectacular multi-peaked rocky range packed with unique needle-shape formations. Upon arrival, visit the Monastery, which was founded in the 10th century and still functions to this day, with over 70 monks. It is also well-known for hosting the figure of La Moreneta (visit not guaranteed) , who is the patron saint of Catalonia. Your guide will bring history alive by explaining the history and ventures of this Monastery dating nearly a thousand years. Board the Sant Joan Railway to observe the area’s fascinating flora and fauna. The tour will continue a soft hike replete with verdant beauty while you admire a scenic landscape in Montserrat Natural Park. To recover some energy after the hiking, you will taste the typical Catalan pastry, “coca de Montserrat”.   The sweetest way to end this wonderful tour. You will have free time to visit the farmers market, the cafe and the souvenirs stores. At the end, you will meet your guide again to go back to the bus on the way back to Barcelona.

GetYourGuide traveler – CanadaOctober 24, 2023 – Verified booking
We had booked the tour in French for 8:15, it was only at 8:00 that your guide representative on site informed us that the tour was canceled 😡 due to the temperature even though the weather was very nice , even he was surprised at the reason 🤦‍♀️ they took us for stupid 😡, there were only 2 of us for this tour, it's probably for this reason but we received no notice to this effect (check the day before of the tour and the same morning? Also check in spam emails), nothing, niet, nada. He offered us the 10:30 tour but English and Spanish version or refund, we opted for the first option despite the fact that our English is weak. Obvious recommendation please provide valid and appropriate justification within a reasonable time frame. However, your English-speaking guide Roger was super good and supportive with us, much appreciated. The compensation for the meal included in the tour was really appreciated.

The tour was great! It was great to experience Montserrat. We arrived in bus then took the railway then a 2 mile hike down and had some time to explore the monastery. Our guide Roger was very approachable, friendly, helpfuld and most of all informative. He also sent us a email with recommendations of what do to in Barcelona which had a lot of options. Highly recommended it!

The tour office was easy to find. The arrival of the guides was punctual. The bus was very new and comfortable. The AirCon was a bit cold first thing in the morning but much better on the way back after mentioned to our guide. Lucas was an excellent guide -- very personable, caring, articulate and alert. We were the oldest people in the group and he was accommodating and kind. We would highly recommend.
