De 8h à 30h, vous aurez du temps libre jusqu'à 9h, où vous pourrez prendre Petit-déjeuner, rester à l'intérieur de l'abbaye pendant plus de temps, vous détendre avant l'arrivée de la foule, etc. Ensuite, nous prendrons le van pendant 15 minutes pour arriver à un autre endroit de Montserrat pour faire une randonnée.

We are so glad that we took this hike. We did get to see the black Madonna and look around the cathedral without any crowd. The best part was the hike and the company. Albert is wonderful but just know that you should be in pretty good shape. I am 61 and my almost almost 64, and I consider us more athletic than your average seniors.. We were able to keep up with Albert’s pace, but it is about a 4 mile an hour pace with the inclines being fairly steep and long. The views from the hike were nothing less than awesome. Albert keeps a tight schedule and a really appreciate everyone being at their pick up points a couple minutes before he picks you up. He gets their precisely when he says he’s going to get there and really appreciates a punctual person.
Aside from Albert’s quirky side he has fantastic knowledge about Montserrat. You need to be on the fitter side to tackle the hike as some areas are steep and rocky. Weather was perfect but bring a jacket just in case. Long pants and proper shoes are advisable. Doing the early tour is a must to avoid the long lines to see the black Madonna and church. You be back in Barcelona before lunch at 2
This was a great experience. There was virtually no crowd when we arrived to Montserrat in the morning. Albert was a great guide, he is very knowledgeable and had great energy all day. The hike was my favorite part, it has a few spots that can be challenging but would still highly recommend
Fantastic tour and so worth getting up early for! The hike was one of the most enjoyable things i did in Barcelona. Albert was our driver/guide and he was great!
It’s a fantastic trip, especially because you arrive at the monastery before the crowds. You can enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and then head out for a beautiful hike.
This is a unique tour. The guide Albert is full of energy. He is both knowledgable and attentious to details. The tour description is exact. You will do a wonderful hike through the mountains above the abbey in places where no one else is going. Due to the early start, there will be no crowd and no lines, with the sunrise as an welcome bonus. Loved the whole experience.
Albert was delightful and flexible. He was very knowledgeable about the history and provided great conversation while on the hike. He made it pleasant for those who wanted a challenging hike and those who struggled a bit. He was funny and engaging both in English and in Spanish. It was one of the highlights of our trip to Spain.
This was my favourite tour while visiting Barcelona. Albert is an excellent, affable and funny guide who patiently got us to the summit of the mountain at Montserrat. The hike took around 1.5 hours from the monastery to the top. It was somewhat steep and at times challenging but absolutely worth it for some breathtaking views at the end. Albert’s knowledge of the history of Montserrat, as well as Catalonia more broadly, made it even worthwhile. I cannot recommend more highly. It was just so much fun!
What an amazing experience from start to finish! Albert was full of energy, super organised, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable — he made the day so enjoyable from the very first moment. We started early, which was the perfect time to visit the monastery — peaceful, quiet, and beautifully foggy as the sun came up. Seeing the Black Madonna before the crowds arrived was really special. The hike was very challenging but absolutely worth it for the breathtaking views from the top! Albert was so supportive and encouraging the whole way, keeping everyone motivated and laughing. My legs are feeling it now 😅 but I’d do it all again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend this tour — a must-do when in Barcelona!
The best experience of our trip to Barcelona. Loved that this was a small group of 7. We got up super early to drive to Montserrat to view the sunrise, which was magical. The light was amazing on the mountains and on the monastery. After taking dozens of photos, we then made our way into the monastery to view the Black Madonna, all the while our guide giving us the history of everything we saw. We then grabbed a snack before we started hiking. It is not a technical hike but it is a climb (nature's stairmaster). Albert was great at sensing the breaks the group needed all the while keeping us on time and also very informed our surroundings. He also provided us with water on hike so no real need to carry anything. The views from the top were stunning. After we came down, we had a bit of time to get food and to see what the farmer's market had to offer. We took the cable car down where Albert was waiting for us with the van to go back to Barcelona. We had an amazing time.
