The mountain of Montserrat is characterised by the rounded shape of its peaks. There are amazing views of the region from the different viewpoints. Once there, there are many options of hiking, even taking the funicular to the top of the mountain. I will adjust it to your interests.

We thoroughly enjoyed the private 7 hour Montserrat tour with Black Madonna access and the upper funicular ride. Alberto was an outstanding tour guide who was friendly, engaging and accommodating. He is well versed in the details of Montserrat’s history and made its history come alive for us. We appreciated him taking us up the steeper trail to see the tiny chapel and the even more panoramic view from that vantage point.
Thank you very much Roy and Linda for your nice words. I am happy to know that you enyoyed the tour. And I hope you enjoy your full week in the city. Take care!
My wife and I joined Albert on a beautiful excursion to Montserrat, and if you have any doubts about this experience, don't. Albert was punctual, a delight, and one of our favorite tour guides out of all our trips. When you look for tours, you want to find someone who is passionate about the topics, the region, and its culture and who can educate you about the area. Albert checked the boxes on every one of these, and we couldn't have been more pleased, other than booking more tours while in town this time or a longer excursion. When we return to Barcelona, we will not hesitate to contact him to book additional tours. Our only mistake was not meeting him sooner on our trip.
Thank you very much Kelly for your kind review. It was my pleasure to have you and Jann to Montserrat. You are always welcome here. Take care!
It has been a very pleasant surprise, I could not imagine that we could visit a monastery in such a beautiful place, for its mountains and the views that the landscape gives you. Albert is a very close guide who makes the tour an unforgettable experience, I definitely recommend it to friends and families. For us a mandatory visit.
It has been an unforgettable experience!! The place has a special charm with a very marked spiritual atmosphere. Amazing to see the monastery practically inside the rock and all the information Albert has explained about the monastery and the history of these very genuine mountains. The trip was pleasant and we had a very nice day. It was certainly a good idea for us to meet Albert and have such a beautiful day!
Our private tour of Montserrat with Albert was exceptional. Albert was very knowledgeable and gracious. You won’t go wrong with this tour!
