About this experience

Travelers will explore Montserrat Mountain after a brief overview of Barcelona's history. The tour includes visits to the Basilica with a local guide, guided walks in small groups, and free time for individual exploration, which may involve hiking to St. Michael’s Cross or attending a Boy's Choir performance (tickets not included). The experience is suitable for those interested in nature, history, and wine. It may not suit travelers looking for a fast-paced itinerary or those who prefer larger group settings. Before booking, note that the tour includes a visit to a family-owned castle-winery from 964 AD, where guests will tour the estate, enjoy a multi-course regional meal, and taste three sustainably produced local wines. The tour offers options for extended free time in Montserrat with the 8:30 am departure or a scenic ride on the Cogwheel Train with the 9:45 am departure. An add-on VIP Winery Experience is available for an additional fee, providing exclusive access to the winery's barrel cellar and a guided tasting of three premium wines.
