1.Montserrat Monastery Small Group or Private Tour Hotel pick-up

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 5,144 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $114Our pick

Travel from your Barcelona hotel to Montserrat in a small group of up to eight, or choose a private tour. Your guide introduces the serrated mountain and monastery, where entry is included. Allow about five hours. The Sant Joan funicular and Montserrat Museum are optional and cost extra.

“Montserrat is beautiful and worth the trip. However, there was so much traffic to get into the park and there was no parking so we had to wait for the guide. Therefore, we didn't get to see as much or do the funicular or really explore the area.”

“Wow!!!! We had a great time. My husband and I only had a day and a half in Barcelona before a cruise. We wanted to see all the highlights of Barcelona. I spent a lot of time reading reviews of different excursions. This one definitely seemed like the best option. However, my husband was very hesitant about riding around in a sidecar. When he was done, he was admitted that he loved the tour. It is a great way to see the city. The big bonus is our guide, Stephan was excellent. He was very informative and we could understand everything he said (which was not true of a lot…”

6.Montserrat Private Tour with Hotel pick-up from Barcelona

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 548 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $246

Travel from your Barcelona hotel or apartment to Montserrat in a private vehicle with a local guide.

“Our guide Jose was fantastic. He was unbelievably knowledgeable and did a great job tailoring the tour to what we were interested in. I would highly recommend him and we wish only that we had taken a full day tour (likely to include a vineyard) rather than just a half day.”

I highly recommend this tour if you are a history buff and also into architecture. Additionally, lots of Game of Thrones sites if that’s your thing.”

Walking through the gothic quarter was an unforgettable experience. Raquel was super informative and really cared about what we wanted to see and how we felt on the tour. It really felt like we were getting to know the city with a friend. Highly recommend this tour…”
