Itinerary
Meet your guide at Barcelona North Bus Station
Your day begins near Barcelona North Bus Station, where you meet your guide and small group. Check in, get a quick outline of the schedule, and board the air-conditioned bus.
Travel to Montserrat and ride the cogwheel train
Leave Barcelona and drive through the Catalonian countryside toward the rocky peaks of Montserrat. At the base of the mountain, switch to the cogwheel train, which climbs steeply to the monastery with wide views over the valley.
Visit the Montserrat Monastery and basilica
At the top, your guide leads you through the monastery complex and basilica. Learn how this 11th-century site became a symbol of Catalan faith and hear the story of the Black Madonna statue that draws pilgrims here.
Enjoy free time at Montserrat
After the guided visit, enjoy free time to explore on your own. Walk to a nearby lookout for wide views over the cliffs and valley, or stay near the plaza to visit the small market and try local cheeses and other products.
Taste tapas and wine at an organic winery
Leave the mountain and drive to a nearby organic winery surrounded by vineyards. Walk between the vines and through the cellar as you learn how the wines are made, then sit down for a light tapas-style lunch paired with three regional wines from the estate.
Your tour finishes at Barcelona North Bus Station
After lunch and the tasting, ride back to Barcelona North Bus Station on your air-conditioned bus. The tour ends here, leaving you free to continue your evening in the city with Montserrat’s views and flavors still fresh on your mind.

What an amazing tour. Our guide for the day was Kyra, what an outstanding job she did. Very knowledgeable, made the tour interesting. We enjoyed three wines with typical Spanish tapas in a castle tower at the vineyards. Would definitely recommend this tour and tour company.
Very good tour

We had a great tour to Monserrat. The Tour guide and the driver were exceptional. We learned so much history and saw so many different aspects of the countryside along the way. The wine tasting was interesting. The choice of tapas not to our liking, but could be a cultural difference. Other than that, everything was perfect.
Montserrat is beautiful and definitely worth seeing.

What an amazing adventure we had today! From booking through to the end of the day, everything was 5 star with outstanding communication. Our tour guide Etienne was knowledgeable, funny, and oh so patient with quite a diverse group of people! The cog wheel train was so interesting and the views out of this world! Monserrat was beyond expectation, and the tapas and wine tasting was fantastic. We loved how much history was involved in the tour, and *may* have bought some wine to take home. Well definitely be using the Tour Guy again!
Great day

Outstanding and unforgettable! Incredibly beautiful, better then our visit to Gibraltar. Skipping the line into the sanctuary was amazing and gave us time for more exploring. The ride up on the cog-wheel train was really cool, especially for a train buff like me. And the ride to the winery for tapas and wine tasting was filled with beautiful views of the mountain and the surrounding countryside. The tapas were great, traditional and plentiful, and the wines great. But the true highlight was Lesly, our personal guide. I've taken tons of tours on my 30+ cruises and she was one of the best! Her knowledge and love of Catalonian history and culture was tremendous and made the trip amazing. She's a superstar!
Great day trip
