Good horses tours fill up weeks ahead; the great ones go first. Below: the 6 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Montserrat Monastery and beginner-friendly horseback riding from Barcelona, with small-group guidance, included monastery entry, and scenic mountain views.

Half-day Montserrat from Barcelona with a guided monastery visit and scenic horseback riding in Montserrat National Park, from $136 pp.
“Both parts of the activity were amazing. Both guides were great. I will definitely recommend it.”
Ride calm horses through Montserrat National Park, visit Montserrat Abbey, and shop local treats on a small-group day trip from Barcelona.
“Our guide, Frank, was absolutely amazing. The entire experience was incredible and I would recommend this to anyone visiting Barcelona.”
Montserrat day trip from Barcelona with small-group hike, horseback riding along hermitage routes, and a guided monastery stop.
“My visit to Montserrat was great! Highly recommend this small group experience. A perfect mix of tourism, history, and nature. I was a solo visitor with no familiarity of Barcelona. The information provided via email leading up to and the morning of my trip was clear and dismissed any worry about getting to the meeting point. Our guide was exceptionally personable and informative. We learned so much about Barcelona and Catalunya on the drive to the mountains, before the destination tour even began. The stable guide paid extra attention to those with little or no riding experience. The ride was a gentle trail walk with lovely views of olive groves,…”
Half-day from Barcelona to Penedès: horseback ride, winery tour, and wine tasting with tapas or a luxury lunch.
“What a fantastic day! We were treated like VIPs from the time we were picked up. The tasting was thorough and we had time to explore the vineyard and museum afterwards. The lunch might have been the best food we had in Barcelona. We loved exploring the property by horseback. Would recommend for anyone who loves wine and horses! We appreciated the customer care who texted us every step of the way to ensure we were enjoying the experience.”
Private horseback ride in Penedès vineyards, then pica pica tapas in the countryside, with air-conditioned pickup from Barcelona.
“Beautiful and peaceful scenery, the guide was very lovely and helpful as I was a beginner but made me feel super comfortable and made the experience so enjoyable and fun. Experience we will never forget.”
Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
