Enjoy a sunset in Montserrat in a very small group (maximum 7 participants). We will leave Barcelona at 3:30 PM to arrive one hour later in the Monastery area. There will be 20 minutes of free time.

Hiking and monk singing and boys choir
Albert is a thoughtful guide with meticulous planning. You get exactly what he promises (and more). He was also open to alternative and figured out how I could listen to the monks singing, ride the funicular and hike all in th same trip. I preferred to smaller scenic hike to St Michael’s cross.
via Viator
Top Notch !!
Easy ride from Barcelona, Albert is an expert, he exceeded our expectations and made our experience unique, we are forever grateful to Albert for making our day at Montserrat unforgettable.
via Viator
Must do!
This was just an amazing day and the best part of our trip to Barcelona. Albert was an amazing guide, great communicator and he accommodated my son and I all afternoon. The location is magical.

A Trip Worth Making
The view from the mountains, seeing and touching the Black Madonna, experiencing the monks and boys choir sing.
Response from the operator: Hola! Who are you? Why then 3 stars? Regards

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Montserrat Afternoon tour, easy hike and boys choir singing: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Barcelona.
How much does Montserrat Afternoon tour, easy hike and boys choir singing cost?
+
Prices start at $63 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Barcelona usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Montserrat Afternoon tour, easy hike and boys choir singing take?
+
Plan for about 5.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Barcelona is not rushed.
Is Montserrat Afternoon tour, easy hike and boys choir singing worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Barcelona, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Montserrat Afternoon tour, easy hike and boys choir singing?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Montserrat Afternoon tour, easy hike and boys choir singing suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Montserrat Afternoon tour, easy hike and boys choir singing?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Barcelona can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Barcelona and add a light layer if any part of the 5.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Montserrat Afternoon tour, easy hike and boys choir singing start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Barcelona within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Barcelona?
+
Barcelona's Gaudí sites are capacity-limited and the official timed tickets go first, so most of the market is resellers with a guide attached. We weight those heavily on whether the guide is an architecture specialist. Beyond Gaudí, the tapas crawls in Gràcia and the Montserrat day trips carry the highest rankings in the city. On Outty we rank every Barcelona experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Costa Brava Tour: Kayak, Snorkel & Cliff Jump from Barcelona, Gràcia Tapas and Vermouth Crawl, Girona & Dali Museum Small Group Tour with Pick-up from Barcelona. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Barcelona?
+
May, June, September and October. Sagrada Família light is best mid-morning. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Barcelona?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Montserrat Afternoon tour, easy hike and boys choir singing?
+
Included: Guided tour and hiking trail with official guide; Entrance to Montserrat Abbey; Children singing; and Round trip by van for 7 participants. Not included: Dinner. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Montserrat Afternoon tour, easy hike and boys choir singing?
+
We will leave at 3pm. Meeting point 5 minutes before. Monumental Metro L2, Arc de Triomf L1, Sagrada Familia L5 Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
