The pick up was easy to find and reach by metro for 10am. The coach was clean and comfortable and our guide was lovely. It takes between 50 mins and an hour to get there and the views were beautiful. We started with a quick tour of the grounds with our guide and then got tickets for the Basilica at 12 which I would recommend. The choir sings at 1pm but we didn't manage to get tickets this time, so do pre-book before the day if you want to see them. We caught the Funicular up and then walked down the mountain after taking in the views down to St Michaels cross and then back to the Monestry. There was a farmer's market on and we got local cheese, figs, honey and peaches to take back. Took in the sites by the pick up point and back in Barcelona for 4pm. Would highly recommend ☺️

The destination was amazing - it’s hard to say how beautiful Montserrat is. The guide was excellent and had plenty of information to share; he even told us some facts about Montjuïc on a traffic-induced detour through there on the way home. The bus was fine and the timings were perfectly adhered to (important to us as we flew home 3hrs after the return time!) - definitely more relaxed, quicker and more informative than the self-guided train alternative, as long as you can make do with just 3hrs free time (plus 1hr tour) at the top. Highly recommended!

We had Ewan as a guide, a really good guide, telling us a lot about Montserrat and humorous too. On the way on the bus you can book a visit to the Basilique and Madonna online, he also helped people if needed. Plenty of time to spend some time on your own too. The journey through the mountains was great. Lovely place. Great trip, surely recommended!
