About this experience
We experience Montserrat’s National Park by walk and on horseback with a passionate local guide in a premium small group up to a maximum of 8 people. HIGHLIGHTS Superlative and moderate Walking Horseback riding in Montserrat´s National Park TOUR DESCRIPTION We walk up to Montserrat, from where we enjoy the stunning views from the Natural Park of Montserrat and the rest of Catalonia from a bird´s eye view. During the walk we are on the same paths used by pilgrims hundreds of years ago, we get inspired by Montserrat’s fascinating flora and fauna and we experience unique ways where rocky pillars and ravines show us how inner mysterious water emerge from the hidden center of the massif. Later on we head to the ranch, where we enjoy an unforgettable experience on horseback over the stunning countryside at Montserrat’s National Park. We follow a three Romanesque hermitages route while we are amused by this unique and sawtooth mountain range.

I had a great time! My favorite things were: - the small group setting (ended up being 7 - and it was all girls so it turned into a cute girls trip) - The ranch. Very sweet ranch owners. I appreciate them for opening up their space to us. NOTE - please respect the space and do not take photos until you are told it is ok. 🙂 - The History & Walk. I hit 15K steps this day, learned a lot, and was grateful to be in the spiritual space of a very unique Monastery (in my opinion). - The outside market and souvenir shops are differently worth the gander

my very first guided tour
At first I was a bit hesitant booking a guided tour on my own, but it turned out to be a wonderful experience. Everything was well organised and in the small group there were plenty of possibilities to get in touch with new people from around the world. Our guide David was very knowledgeable and funny. He created a good atmosphere and gave good recommendations for other spots in Barcelona. Overall the trip was an enjoyable mix of riding, hiking and sightseeing. The only criticism could be, that it should have been much longer :D No prior skills needed - even newbies like me did it!

Very nice excursion.
We started the excursion with horse back riding which I really enjoy it. Riding on a horse was the very first time for me but it all went superb. Afterwards we went to the monastery of Montserrat. Finally we did a short hike. In general we had a great day !

Great day trip!
We had an excellent time on this tour. Juan our tour guide was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of information about Barcelona and its history. The horseback riding was fun with some beautiful views. The Monastery of Montserrat and its surrounding area was stunning. Our family of five all agreed that this was the highlight of our trip.

This was such a fun and unique day trip! The mountains were breathtaking and our guide was extremely informative and kind. The horseback riding was super fun! The guides there were so helpful and reassuring as some of us in the group had never even ridden a horse. Truly a wonderful time!

Why this scores 76
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Montserrat Monastery Horse Riding & Walk – Premium Small Group: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Barcelona.
How much does Montserrat Monastery Horse Riding & Walk – Premium Small Group cost?
+
Prices start at $99 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 Monastery Horse Riding & Walk – Premium Small Group take?
+
Plan for about 6.5 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 Monastery Horse Riding & Walk – Premium Small Group worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 48 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 Monastery Horse Riding & Walk – Premium Small Group?
+
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 Monastery Horse Riding & Walk – Premium Small Group suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 12. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 6.5-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Montserrat Monastery Horse Riding & Walk – Premium Small Group?
+
Around 17 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 6.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Montserrat Monastery Horse Riding & Walk – Premium Small Group 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 Gràcia Tapas and Vermouth Crawl, Costa Brava Tour: Kayak, Snorkel & Cliff Jump from Barcelona, Costa Brava Tour: Kayak, Snorkel, Cliff Jump & lunch Small Group. 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.
