Quick and enjoyable taste of the Monastery
Theresa_E, May 2024
Enjoyable trip just 35 minutes outside Barcelona. There's a bus ride up to the monastery where the guide provides a brief history and gets you into the Cathedral. You're given free time to go to the farmer's market, museum (extra cost) or the souvenir shop or the funicular (extra cpst) up to the viewpoint at the top of the hill. You're providing a sweet bread and a taste of the local cheese and honey treat before taking a cogwheel train halfway down the mountain to meet the bus and return to Barcelona. It's only a few hours but it covers all the highlights and history and is enjoyable. The liquer tasting was a corner of the souvenir shop where you tasked 4 liquers and the actual amount is about a teaspoon but enough so you know if you like it. I enjoyed the trip, even on a cold day.
Excellent Tour & Guide

Our trip to Montserrat was great! Paco, our guide, was wonderful and very knowledgeable. He was also very accommodating as my mother used a walker and moved a little slower than the rest of the group. We had a lovely time!

Our guides, Roger and Trini, were fillled with wonderful knowledge of montserrat and could answer all our questions. They also made everything very interesting and entertaining. The basilica was magnificent and the fact that you can attend a service each day was wonderful. I just couldnt get over the magnificance of the mountains, looking down on the clouds was amazing.
Must see tour
