TOUR DESCRIPTION & ITINERARY

Just an hour west of Barcelona, we find the most amazing mountain range - Montserrat.  The name literally means serrated mountain, many believing the peaks were carved by angels with golden saws.  The views are stunning, so get your cameras ready for this private day trip to Montserrat.

The Basilica is dedicated to Catalonia's Patron Saint - Montserrat.  We'll explore the different architecture & uncover the history of this Monastery that dates back to the 9th Century on our guided walking tour. Before leaving the Monastery we'll be able to hear Europe's oldest boys' choir sing.

Upon arrival to the base of the mountain, you will leave your driver and, following your expert guide, hop on either the cable car or the zipper train to enjoy fantastic views.  Once you are in the Monastery complex, you'll enjoy a guided visit of the area revealing the history and stories behind the façades.  After the tour is completed, you'll have free time to enjoy the funiculars, museum, pick up some treats at the local farmers market, hear the Boys Choir, or touch Our Lady of Montserrat before returning to Barcelona by van.

"Awesome tour!"
My wife and I booked the sights tour with a private car. The driver picked us up in a very nice Mercedes and Nancy proceeded to show us around this large city - without having to walk for hours! The knowledge she has of Barcelona and the Gaudi sites is unreal! She really brought the Sagrada Familia to life and showed many, many small and interesting details. The last hour walking tour through Barri Gotic was very cool as well - without her experience we would have never noticed dozens of interesting sites.

"Making Barcelona Special"
Nancy added tremendously to the success of this trip. Not only was her pre-trip advice about how to go about seeing things, getting tickets, and restaurant advice indispensable, the knowledge, history, and anecdotes she shared during the outings captivated the attention of everyone. Personally, I really appreciate the value added by a great tour guide over trying to read a tour book on the fly. Enchanting Barcelona Tours can make a big difference to how much you get out of a trip to Barcelona.
