Highlights
- Montana de Montserrat - The Rocky Massif of Montserrat has been declared as Natural Park in 1987, and characterised by the rounded shape of its peaks. This incredible 4000-foot wonder is easily recognizable by its ‘’serrated’’ top from which it got his name.
Once you reach the monastery, you have plenty of options and your guide will always adjust to your interests. We invite you to take an easy walk of around 30 min to enjoy one of the most astonishing views of the natural park, but if you wish you can also decide to enjoy other activities that the mountain offers.

Best Half Day of Our Trip - Our half day trip to Monserrat was the highlight of being in Spain. We didn’t know what to expect for sure but it ended up being amazing. The views are incredible but really our driver Javi made the day. He was knowledgeable, friendly, patient, picked us up at our hotel, just really all you could ask for and more. I can’t recommend this adventure enough and ask for Javi as your driver. Thank you my friend, we will be back so my son can climb with you one day!

Best experience and highly recommended - This was an very enjoyable tour. Gaspar was excellent and added to the experience. A small group with hotel pick up suited us perfectly. Would highly recommend this tour especially if you are lucky enough to get someone with Gaspar's expertise

A Can’t-Miss Montserrat Excursion - I only had an afternoon to try to see Montserrat and this tour was the perfect option. Our tour guide Javi gracefully navigated some pickup challenges that were thrown his way, but seamlessly made sure we stayed on schedule without ever feeling rushed. Facts about and histories of the region made the drive to the mountain pass by quickly, and once there we enjoyed the views as we walked through the streets and to the monastery. Javi explained its history and our options during our free time, which proved to be plenty as the afternoon came to a close. Highly recommended and if you have Javi as your guide you are that much more fortunate! Merci!

Fun, Exciting and Interesting! - We had a wonderful time on this tour - would highly recommend for a small group! Our guide, Gaspar was kind, prompt and very knowledgeable. We chose the earlier time (8:30 am) which I would recommend as the site can get busier as the day goes on. Definitely a must-see if visiting Barcelona!

Monsterrat half day tour - Our small group of 11 was picked up at the hotel by Antoneli and Gio
Antoneli greeted us and made us comfortable for our half day tour to Monsterrat. While heading there he gave us a brief tour of the area and where we were going. Antoneli was knowledgeable and professional and guided us through the Basilica and other sites at the Monsterrat. They went above and beyond and made our tour experience a memorable day .Thanks to both of you again.

Javi El Professor - Javi is a great tour guide. He is very knowledgeable and funny. He’s got some jokes, let me tell you. He gave us ample time to tour by ourselves at Montserrat but is always around for guidance. He communicated when there was traffic and gave us an ETA when there was an accident on his way to us for pick up.
He recommended some of his local faves which was very helpful. Even when our tour is over, he encouraged us to text him for recommendations.
Thank you Javi for a wonderful time!

A great time was had by all! - Javi was the best tour guide we have ever had! He was knowledgeable, energetic, funny and a delight to be around! I broke my eyeglasses and he called an optometrist for me and went out of his way to find a location near our hotel. Perfect all around experience!

Barcelona taxi - Outstanding service! The driver arrived on time, was very courteous, and the car was clean. My family and I felt safe and well taken care of throughout the ride. Highly recommend Taxi Barcelonas. Five stars!

Mansterrat August 1, 2024 - Our guide, Javi, contacted me promptly the evening before and provided the pick-up time. Javi was on time and picked us up at our hotel with a black Mercedez Benz van. We sat in the back and it was comfortable for our family of three. The AC worked very well during the round trip tour.
Javi was awesome and answered all our questions. He has a great knowledge of the Monsterrat Abbey and Basilica history. He was nice, organized, and friendly. It’s nice to have a guide who grew up locally.
I highly recommend this small group tour.
