Monistrol de Montserrat
The Montserrat rack railway covers the five kilometers between Monistrol de Montserrat and Montserrat. It is a route that takes you to the top of Catalonia’s most emblematic mountain, which is visible from all angles thanks to the panoramic view offered by the train’s large windows. Its history dates back to 1891, when Joaquim Carrera, an engineer who was passionate about Montserrat and Swiss mountain trains, convinced an entrepreneur to build a train between the recently-opened Monistrol de Montserrat station and the monastery.
Montserrat
Montserrat Natural Park is a natural space dominated by the characteristic silhouette of its eponymous mountain, a rocky massif of sandstone and extremely hard calcareous cement that over millions of years has adopted its peculiar and recognisable form. The Holy Cave, the Sant Joan and Sant Miquel chapels, and above all, Montserrat Abbey, make this place, which is just a short distance from Barcelona, an unmissable destination. Montserrat is nicknamed the ‘magic mountain’ due to the numerous legends it has generated. The first of them is the discovery of the wooden statue of the Virgin Mary, which is reputed to have been found in the so-called Santa Cova or Holy Cave in 880. Another legend tells of a woodcutter who made a pact with the Devil to receive a fast horse to carry his wood.

Monserrat with boys’ choir

4.00Our guide Nuryi was wonderful and very knowledgeable. We did the “complete” tour. After a bus ride and short train ride, you arrive at Montserrat. We had time to do the museum, walk to St Michael’s cross, and see the local farmer’s market. Our tour included the basilica and boy’s choir (which was very nice). As stated in other reviews, it gets quite crowded during the performance. While in the Basilica, you can see the black Madonna at a distance, but you don’t have the opportunity to go behind the altar area and view it. Other than that detail, it was a pleasant way to spend a 1/2 day.
A fantastic trip to Montserrat

5.00The tour was great. Ellie was a fantastic guide. The timing was perfect and we saw all the highlights. There was free time when you could explore on your own. Everything was very well organized. When you got on the coach they gave you an itinerary and a map so you always knew where to be. The coach was very comfortable and the driver was very experienced.

4.00This was a magnificent place to visit. We signed up for English tour but ended up having to listen to dual descriptions on the bus ride. The only change I would make is to distribute tickets to the choir event in advance to allow going earlier for seating. We had to wait for tour guide and by the time we entered there were only scattered seats in the last 3 rows. The audience stands for 2 of the 3 songs so we didn’t really see any of the performance. It sounded great.
A Wonderful Adventure

4.00The bus trip was relaxing and Marta, the guide, gave us a lot of information. Montserrat is a beautiful place. The Basilica was lovely and we were happy to get to hear the Boys Choir. We also enjoyed our time visiting the art museum.
This is the way to experience Monserrat

5.00This is the tour to take for Monserrat! So thankful we heard the boys choir. Their voices were angelic. You will have time to take the funicular after the choir and basilica. We also went to the museum which was mostly art. Our driver John was excellent as Barcelona had heavy rain in the AM. Guide gave us the option to rebook but we’d checked the weather and d Monserrat was to be fine. It was cold in November so bring layers. Guide Alva was knowledgeable and very kind to my husband and I. He is 94 and walks slowly. As we had been here in 2013 for basilica and Madonna this was a nice change. Strongly recommend this tour

1.00Be aware of the this tour. Boy choir event cancellation was informed when we reached at the bus stand. Going near black Madonna was canceled too and was told to us when we went inside the church. We felt cheated because 2 of the key events were cancelled and Information was shared with us at last moment. Please book other cheap tours instead of this one. Viator should not advertise this tour on their website. When I complained to Viator about my experience their response was Sorry.
Great tour of Monserrat with plenty of free time to explore.Note: tix to touch Black Virgin sell out quickly! Get ASAP!

Breathtaking Montserrat

4.00Montserrat is a breathtaking side trip about an hour from Barcelona. My tour left the city at 9 a.m. and arrived back at 4. The boys’ choir (for 15 minutes at 1 p.m.), the art museum, the basilica and the farmers’ market are well worth a visitor’s time. If the tour had come with an extra hour of free time, I could have walked the trail to St. Michael’s Cross. That was my only disappointment.
A nice day in Montserrat

3.00The guide was knowledgeable but I was very disappointed that we had to stand in the back of the church while listening to the boys choir. The guide wasted time outside the church explaining things while the church fill up with people. The bus also smelled of ammonia. The day was very windy and we had difficulty hearing the guide as the tour began.
