Overview

Reaching Montserrat from Barcelona is slow going without a car, with train and cable-car connections to piece together. This small-group tour takes that off you, with transport by private air-conditioned vehicle. A guide leads a hike through the Montserrat Nature Park, stopping at the shrines and hermitages, before you visit the Benedictine monastery and the "Black Madonna" carving.

Frank was a great guide

Frank was a great guide - friendly, funny, knowledgeable & well-informed. We really enjoyed the visit to the monestery and the walk. Be warned, though, it was VERY cold in February - there was snow on the Pyrenees and an icy blast blew from them.

A nice time but you can skip

The views were lovely from the top of Monserrat and the monestary was just as beautiful. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. I feel as though this tour was a little lacking in a few ways. Unfortunately, in the booking it says we would be provided with water bottles and air conditioned bus but we were in a small van and it was very hot and there was no mention of water for us. The tour was a little boring at some parts.

Guides Jordi and Frank were excellent. Frank led the “long hike” which is up and down, which my husband did. Jordi led the “short hike”which is train going up and walk going down. Just the right amount of talking. Guides brought water and hiking poles just in case, and sure enough, some did not bring enough water. Be sure to bring water and sunblock.
