Tour description

For many visitors a day trip to Montserrat is the highlight of their visit. Not only because of its significant religious importance but also because of the natural beauty surrounding the monastery -it is simply breathtaking.

For a better enjoyment of the visit we propose an early departure from Barcelona, avoiding the crowds that usually visit this temple. Besides, this is a great opportunity to watch the Boys Choir (Escolania) perform their afternoon session. This is a half day chauffeured private visit to Montserrat from Barcelona.
