Small-group Montserrat day trip from Barcelona with guided monastery visit, mountain lift, easy hike, and panoramic views.

“This was an excellent tour and probably one of the prettiest places we went on our 2 week trip to Spain and Portugal. Our guide David was so knowledgable about the area and was a wealth of information on the drive up, as well as when we arrived. He was also an excellent driver which was really nice to allow you to relax and close your eyes on the trip back into the city while feeling very safe at all times. I would highly reccomend Mont Escape Tours and our very friendly guide David.”

“This day trip to Montserrat was a highlight of our time in Barcelona! It is so nice to have someone drive you straight to the location and give you so much interesting history about not only montserat but the people of Catalan . Our tour guide, james, was splendid in every way. Doing this in January was perfect. We did the early tour and basically had all the locations to ourself. It of course was cool but we dressed for it and I wouldn't do it any other way.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 69 reviews · 9 hours · from $102

Guided Barcelona day trip to Montserrat Monastery with an easy hike to St Michael’s cross, then Sitges for a seaside stroll.

“Our guide, David, was excellent. We were staying in Sitges, so caught early AM train and met tour in Barcelona. It was a big day both time and £ but worth it, as otherwise wouldn't have seen Montserrat. David was very knowledgeable and informative. He 'read' our family well and could judge the speed we wanted to move at. The hike is a bit hilly at times and obviously it can be a hot in the sun but worth the walk. Luckily, it was only us on the Sitges/Monseratt tour. Van was comfortable and air-conditioned. Highly recommend Mont Escape Tours.”
