Discover the only trip that arrives at 7:30h in Montserrat and be a lot of time without any other tourists. We will set off from Barcelona by van from 6:05h till 6:30h. from different many different pick up places.
From mid September till mid February we will see the sunrise.
First we will visit the Abbey and the Black Madonna and we won't be faced with long lines. Then, you'll have two options:
FIRST: At 8:30h, we will start a circular hiking tour with wonderful views.
The maximum elevation gain and loss will do is 440m / 1443 feet, with 6,6km / 4,10 miles. The hiking up will take 1h. After that, during around two hours, the hike will be quite flat and then will be going down back to the Monastery area.
SECOND: You can hike wherever you want but by yourself. You can take the funicular (cable car under the cabin) from 9:30h.
I will tell you anyway which hiking routes I recommend you to do.
At 12:15h we will go back to Barcelona to arrive at 13:30h.

5.00This 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.
Fantastic tour and hike. A highlight of our trip to Spain.

5.00Albert 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.
Exciting hike with stunning views

5.00This 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...

5.00What 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!
Best Experience - Sunrise, Views, Hike & History Lesson

5.00The 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.
Albert was an amazing guide!

5.00⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Albert was an amazing guide! His knowledge of Montserrat and its history made the hike so much more meaningful, and his personable, quirky, and fun personality kept us smiling the whole way. He made sure to greet and connect with all guests every step of the tour, which made it feel so personal and welcoming. The hike itself was a great challenge with incredible views. Highly recommend this tour if you want both adventure and an unforgettable experience!
Great day trip for hikers!

5.00Excellent early morning experience that allowed for us to visit to the Monastery and see the Black Madonna before the crowds arrived. Our guide Albert provided a very informative tour and hike. The terrain and elevation gain is as described for the hike. Wear hiking shoes or athletic shoes with a grip for the terrain which can be a little steep while going up and down the trails. Lots of stone steps and rocky surfaces in some places, but the hike is well worth the effort. Sadly on the day we hiked there was a lot of mist but we had a very memorable experience.
Great quiet early morning tour

5.00Albert was a great guide! We ended up being the only people on the tour today, Albert gave us lots of insight but also allowed us time to explore on our own. I highly recommend taking this early tour, because visiting the church was so peaceful and quiet in the early morning, and we didn’t have to wait at all.
Wonderful hike and Monastery tour

5.00This was a highlight of our trip. Visiting the Monastery was great, especially since there weren't very many people when we arrived. The hiking portion was amazing, great exercise, company and views. The cliff steps and hermit xaves were especially neat. Our guide was delightful with commentary, and he even brought a bottle of wine for us to share at the top. We did this trip during a heat wave, so getting there early was also good for the hiking!
