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.

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

FAQs

Is lunch included?

Yes! A light lunch of tapas is included in the price of the tour. However, if you'd like to enjoy a full, three-course meal, then opt for the full full day Monserrat day trip.

Where to meet?

Near the Barcelona North Bus Station. You'll receive exact directions upon booking. The tour ends at the same meeting point.

What happens if it rains?

We run our tours rain or shine. Please dress accordingly for the weather forecast.

What to bring?

We recommend a bottle of water and sunscreen. Outside of the summer months, it can be fairly cold at the top of the mountain. For this we definitely recommending bringing a light jacket.

Do we get to ride the train?

To get to the monastery, you'll enjoy a ride on the cogwheel train to get to the monastery. However, there is another funicular ride that goes further up the mountain from the monastery. That ride is not included, and there won't be enough time to book it on your own. However, there is time on this full day Monserrat day trip if you wanted extra time to explore on your own.

Will we get to see the Black Madonna?

The Black Madonna is an extremely popular artwork that attracts many visitors to Montserrat. That means there are often long lines to see her during most of the year. There usually isn't enough time for you to see the statue, but you can opt for our full day Monserrat day trip which gives you more time at the top of the mountain.

Is this tour run by The Tour Guy?

No, it's run by one of our trusted and vetted partners in Barcelona, who we know uphold our high standards.

What if I don't drink wine or alcohol? Can I still book this tour?

Yes! You're welcome to join this tour and explore all that Montserrat has to offer. Just be sure to let us know that you prefer not to drink wine when you book your tour.

What if I'm vegetarian, vegan, or have special dietary requirements?

Please contact us after booking to let us know your requirements. We’ll work with our partners to accommodate your needs.

Can I bring my kids and do I have to pay for them?

If your child is under 3 years of age and will not be eating during the tour, you do not need to pay for them. If they will eat food at any stop, please select the "youth" category before checkout and add them to your group in order to save them a seat at the dinner table.
