Full description

Enjoy the views as you hear about Montserrat’s Basilica and Monastery, home of la Moreneta (Black Madonna). Unlike other tours, this experience allows you to gain early access to visit the Montserrat Monastery, well before the crowds arrive. Upon your arrival, enjoy a 45-minute guided tour throughout which you learn about Montserrat including its secrets. This tour also sees you visiting the farmer’s market and entering the basilica. You guide then explains all the fun activities you can do with your 2 hours of free time following the guided tour. You can visit la Moreneta (Black Madonna), enter the museum, taste the monastery’s homemade liquor, go to an easy walk to the Saint Miguel, take the Sant Joan Funicular, and much more.

Meeting point

Your guide will be waiting at the meeting point, holding a red burgundy umbrella. It is recommended to take a taxi to the meeting point to avoid any confusion. If you do so, make sure to tell the driver to take you to "Placeta de Vicenç Albert Ballester", so you can arrive without any problems. You can also get there by taking the metro. The closest station is "Arc de Triomf" (red line). Once you exit the metro, it's a 5-minute walk to the meeting point. Make sure to check how to arrive at the meeting point in advance.

The transportation and guides were great have a lot of interesting history of the monastery. My only wish is that we would have booked a full day. Half day didn’t allow enough time to do all the activities that were recommended by the guides. Free time was only about 90 minutes. The line to the funicular was too long and didn’t want to miss our ride back. The full day is the way to go. Wasn’t up there during the choir boys singing which I heard is fantastic…. Cindy

This was a wonderful tour with great interpretation by our guides. I had limited time visiting Barcelona, and really wanted to visit Montserrat. This tour was just ideal for this. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you're primary reason for visiting Montserrat is the scenery, and the Black Madonna.

The best tour we had in Spain. Our 2 tour guides were smart and polite. Our tour bus was the best, clean and new. We had a wonderful time in Monserrat. We did not feel rushed. Plenty of time to sightsee. We did not know it was Palm Sunday and we were notified to be at the waiting area 10minutes before 08:30. Thank you.
