The 15 Best Montserrat Tours from Barcelona

27 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.8 average  ·  from $23

An hour out of Barcelona, a monastery wedged into a mountain of rock fingers, with a Black Madonna queue that moves slowly. These 15 tours differ on cogwheel train versus cable car, whether a winery and lunch are attached, and how early they get you there.

Visit Montserrat’s Black Madonna, then pair Catalan scenery with boutique wine and tapas on this practical Barcelona day tour.

“I only did the half day to Montserrat but enjoyed it. I wish I had chosen a full day option, as this wasn't enough time to explore and relax in Monserrat but the day was still enjoyable. The tour guides, Thais and Lesly, were knowledgeable and made the trip interesting and fun. It was well organized and convenient. The bus driver, Joseph, navigated some difficult situations really well. I sometimes get car sick, but the drive felt safe and comfortable.”

“We had an exceptional experience on this all day excursion with Toni our tour guide. He is very knowledgeable and talks with a passion rarely seen by a tour guide. He was especially impressive discussing the different wines during the winery lunch and tastings. If your planning an all day tour to Monsurat, you definitely need to request Toni as your guide.”

“What a beautiful place to visit. Breathtaking on so many levels. Enjoyed our time today with Xavier and Hugo. They told us much of the history and lots of humor as well that was fun. We got to see some amazing scenery and such a beautiful basilica. Bus was comfortable and was all we could ask for. Hiking to the Cross of San Miguel was a great way to earn a even better picture. Thanks so much for a great day.”

“It was a great tour. During the drive up to Montserrat, our guide, Alina, shared many stories about Barcelona and Montserrat, which made us even more curious about the places. After we arrived, she guided us through the interior of the monastery as well. Although it was only a half-day tour, it was a very satisfying trip.”

“The monestary was beautiful and seeing the black Madonna was a moving experience. The girls working the desk at Julia travel were not nice (mean to people on multiple occasions). The bus’ ac was not very good. The funicular ride and monastery were great, travel company was not. I would try and find a driver to take you privately.”
