The 15 Best Montserrat Tours from Barcelona

41 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.8 average  ·  from $23

An hour out of Barcelona, a rack railway or a cable car, and a boys’ choir that sings at one o’clock most days. These 15 trips differ on whether the choir is timed in, whether lunch or a winery is bolted on, and how long you actually get on the mountain.

Montserrat Half-Day Tour with Tapas and Gourmet Wines

1.Montserrat Half-Day Tour with Tapas and Gourmet Wines

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 7,359 reviews · 6 to 7 hours (approx.) · from $55Our pick

Montserrat monastery, skip-the-line basilica, and an optional 10th-century castle winery with three wines and tapas.

“Our trip to Montserrat including the wine and tapas tasting was one of the highlights of our trip to Barcelona. The day started with a ride on a luxury bus with our Viator Guide pointing out memorable sites along the way. We had time in Montserrat to explore on our own the beauty of the Basilica with a chance to see the Black Madonna. We went in December so everything was decorated for Christmas, adding even more to the beauty and charm of Montserrat. After a few hours we were back on the bus and driven to a family winery for a tour, tastings and tapas. All in all, it…”

Half-day Montserrat from Barcelona with a cog-wheel train, guided monastery visit, priority Black Madonna access, and liquor tasting.

“If you’re in Barcelona and thinking about visiting Montserrat, do it! First of all, John, our guide, was incredible. He’s local, deeply knowledgeable, and passionate about the history and culture of Montserrat. But what made it special were the legends and behind the scenes stories he shared, the kind you won’t find in any guidebook. He brought the mountain to life. The experience included a visit to the stunning Basilica, where we saw the famous Black Madonna (La Moreneta), and we were fortunate to attend a concert by the Escolania de Montserrat. Hearing the boys’ choir sing in that sacred space was unforgettable! And the cogwheel train ride up the…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 6,014 reviews · 5 hours 15 minutes (approx.) · from $55

Visit Montserrat from Barcelona with air-conditioned transport, a guided monastery and basilica stop, plus 2 hours to hike, ride, and roam.

“Our booking & itinerary to the Monserrat Monastery excursion included access to touch the Black Madonna. When we arrived at the monastery we were told by our tour guide, Oriol, our booking did not include touching the Black Madonna. I showed him the screenshots from our booking & itinerary which clearly showed touching the Black Madonna was included in our purchase. Oriol reviewed the screenshots and agreed we should have access and there must have been a mistake. He stated it would be difficult to have the booking changed the now. When we expressed our displeasure Oriol stated he would call his office and try to fix it. He stepped…”

Montserrat with Black Madonna & Medieval Winery with Tapas/Lunch

6.Montserrat with Black Madonna & Medieval Winery with Tapas/Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 5,209 reviews · 9 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $65

Day trip from Barcelona to Montserrat monastery and a 10th century castle winery, with optional Black Madonna tickets, cogwheel train, and tapas or lunch.

“Our tour guide was an exceptional storyteller, and Montserrat itself was absolutely breathtaking. However, the wine and tapas portion fell short of expectations. The so-called tapas consisted of only a few small pieces of cheese and cured meat, and the tasting included merely three very modest pours of wine. Overall, the experience lacked the substance and generosity one might anticipate from such a setting.”
