He told so much about its history and on the hike was careful to point out naturally growing herbs and other plants. We saw a couple of mountain goats at a distance as well.”

“I booked this excursion not really knowing what to expect, but my partner and I had the BEST time! My partner and I had missed our morning alarm and our tour guide, Nacho, had reached out to us. Thankfully he was gracious enough to wait for us since the other people on the excursion had canceled last minute. The adventure description was very accurate - there was a fair amount of walking but it was honestly perfect because the views were stunning and the exercise felt great. The snorkeling was really fun (a bit chilly in October) but Nacho was so great in showing us all of the wildlife and…”

We then had a few hours to do what we wanted and ended it with the cogswheel train down. Thank you Albert for an unforgettable day!!”

Albert was a wonderful guide. There was excellent communication before the trip, he even sent links about some of the history as well as maps and very detailed pick up instructions. Transportation by van was comfortable and we even got to experience the funicular and zipper train! The hikes were just the right amount of challenge for us, with rewarding views at the top!

Barcelona: Sitges & Montserrat Monastery Tour with Easy Hike

12.Sitges & Montserrat Monastery Tour with Easy Hike

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 69 reviews · 9 hours · from $102

Spend nine hours with a local guide visiting Montserrat’s basilica, cloister, and mountain paths, then Sitges’ seafront churches and palaces. The air-conditioned van keeps the day easy, while guides such as David, James, and Ferran add history and practical tips. The hike is short but uphill.

“Our guide, David, was excellent. We were staying in Sitges, so caught early AM train and met tour in Barcelona. It was a big day both time and £ but worth it, as otherwise wouldn't have seen Montserrat. David was very knowledgeable and informative. He 'read' our family well and could judge the speed we wanted to move at. The hike is a bit hilly at times and obviously it can be a hot in the sun but worth the walk. Luckily, it was only us on the Sitges/Monseratt tour. Van was comfortable and air-conditioned. Highly recommend Mont Escape Tours.”

“Pere was our hired tour guide for the day and my husband and I had him to ourselves for this adventure. We drove about an hour outside Barcelona to Mont Serrat. On our way in to the area where we are going to hike, Pere stops the car to show us what mountain we will be hiking. I look high and say, WOW! Hmm, hard to wrap my non experienced head around this sight. We then drive into the monastery and park. Pere opens his map of the trails and says, we are going to hike 2 hours up, 2 hours down! We look at this map, not really aware…”
