Lucas, our tour guide, was professional, entertaining and organized. The tour to Montserrat Monastery was fabulous. The architecture was magnificent and listening to the choir sing live at the church was ethereal! Taking the cable car down from the Montserrat Monastery to the foot of the mountain was exhilarating and the view was jaw dropping. After the Montserrat Monastery visit, we had lunch at the Vinyanova Farmhouse was absolutely breath taking in the middle of an olive grove. Also, the food and service were lovely and wonderful. I highly recommend this tour with Lucas! Thank you for the fantastic memories! Sending ⭐️ stars from New York!

An excellent experience that I’d recommend to anyone! Our guide, MATEO, was so knowledgeable, engaging and helpful. He managed to make 16 strangers connect and have a fantastic and memorable time. Montserrat is an overwhelming place that warrants more time. I particularly enjoyed the art museum which was filled with amazing works. Thanks to Mateo, we heard the boys’ choir - heavenly. And the farmhouse meal was an absolute gem. Delicious food in a charming setting. I only wish the day were longer so I could savour the experience. So glad we did this excursion ❤️

Full description

Take a day trip from Barcelona to visit Montserrat. Take in the mountain views, visit the famous monastery, then head to a local farmhouse for a delicious dinner. Begin in the upper part of Passeig de Gràcia. Then journey to the natural splendor of Montserrat, Catalonia’s most emblematic mountain topped by a Benedictine Monastery. Montserrat is an ideal trip to spend a day in nature, just a few kilometers away from Barcelona. En route to the Monastery, admire the Massif of Montserrat, a multi-peaked rocky range packed with needle-shaped formations. Upon arrival, visit the Monastery, which was founded in the 10th century and still functions with 150 monks to this day.  It famously hosts the dark figure of La Moreneta, who is the patron saint of Catalonia. Your guide will explain the Monastery's history, which dates back nearly a thousand years. After the visit, you will have free time to buy a souvenir and take pictures. Next, visit a farmhouse with stunning views. Enjoy a delicious 3-course menu; consisting of salad, barbecued food (with vegetarian and halal options), and dessert. Following this adventurous day, return to the center of Barcelona by private transport.

A very good excursion! Montserrat should not be missed; this was my 3rd time going there. I just wish we had about a half hour more at the monastery. Other than that, a wonderful time......good food out in the country too.
