This tour takes you by bus from Barcelona to Montserrat, Catalonia's best-known mountain, for a full day of sightseeing. Walk through the 11th-century Montserrat Monastery, set among jagged peaks, with a guide who shares its history, and see the interior of the Basilica with the included entry. Depending on your option, you can ride the rack railway to enjoy the mountain scenery or book a time slot to see the Black Madonna. With a winery option, you also enjoy a wine tasting and tapas or lunch at a family-run winery set in a converted 10th-century castle.

Travel from Barcelona Nord Station to Montserrat by air-conditioned coach for about 45 minutes. On the way, stop briefly to take photos with the many layered peaks of Montserrat Mountain in the background. On options with the rack railway, ride the train up the mountain for about 12 minutes and enjoy panoramic views.

At the Abbey of Santa Maria de Montserrat, an 11th-century monastery built on the mountain, learn about its history from your guide. With the included entry, also see the ornate interior of the Basilica. The Black Madonna visit is included only in some options; those options visit at the reserved time slot.

After the guided tour, you have 1–2 hours of free time depending on your option. Walk to viewpoints such as the Apòstols viewpoint (Mirador dels Apòstols) and the Cross of Sant Miquel or along the trails, and browse the local bakery and market. Tickets to hear the boys' choir, the Montserrat Museum (with works by Picasso, El Greco and Dalí) and the Sant Joan Funicular are not included and must be purchased separately. All activities except the funicular must be booked in advance.

On winery options, after Montserrat you travel about 30 minutes by coach to Oller del Mas, a boutique winery that is also a 10th-century castle. At this estate, owned by one family for 36 generations, enjoy views of Montserrat Mountain, tour the vineyard, learn about winemaking and taste 3 local wines. Depending on your option, enjoy light tapas or a traditional multi-course lunch before returning to Barcelona. Options without the winery return to Barcelona right after visiting Montserrat.
