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

Review of Barcelona’s Montserrat tour with monastery sights, mountain views, boutique wine, tapas, transport, costs, and practical tips.

“The drive to Monserrat and views were spectacular high above the mountains. We had a great time and we experienced the Basilica with the black Madonna and able to hear the angelic singing of the boys choir. Then, to a lovely winery for wine tasting and tapas was very enjoyable and the winery was beautiful established in 954 with the same family over generations. Our guide Michaela was really good, informative and knowledgeable. Ask for her, she’s awesome!”

Review of Montserrat’s cogwheel train, monastery, tapas, and castle winery tour from Barcelona, with practical tips on value, timing, and what to expect.

“The tour of Monserrat was wonderful and lunch at the winery was fine but it would have been better to have more time in Monserrat and less time at the winery. Our tour guide Lesly was very good but the wines offered at the winery tasting were low end wines and not very good. Not much to see or do at the winery. Would not recommend the winery portion of the tour. Also if you go in Jan the funicular was closed for servicing at Montserrat which was disappointing.”
