Double Tour
If you appreciate a guide and a driver you cannot do any better. We were led on a double tour; Montserrat and Barcelona at our pace. The guide was as they say today interactive! Carlos and Moyses! Learned about the city from its start with the Romans!
via Viator
Excellent Tour of Montserat and Gaudi church grounds
This tour was exactly what we were looking for. Driver Angel was very good on the windy roads to Monserrat and Cristina was an excellent guide with so much information about history and all the beautiful sites we went to. Cristina found the perfect Tappas with Payila that was delicious. It was a wonderful day!

Beyond disappointed
Carlos, the driver, seemed unmotivated and unprepared. He was asking us how to organize the tour in terms of which sites to see first, which seemed strange, considering it was our first time in Barcelona. He seemed more of a driver than a guide, which was disappointing. He miscalculated our pick up at Montserrat, which resulted in us having to wait for him for almost an hour, with my daughter suffering from serious Jetlag. He never informed us that access to any points of interest at Montserrat, like the Basilica, required purchasing tickets in advance for a particular timeslot, which also resulted in us having to wait over 45 minutes to get inside the basilica. I ended up having him drop us off at the our hotel and not doing any of the Barcelona sites. If I had wanted a cab driver, I would’ve arranged accordingly. This was the first time that I had this bad of an experience through Viator.
Response from the operator: We are sorry that you did not enjoy the experience. We are a limousine company, we offer Tours and transfers. Our drivers are not guides. You are filing a complaint for something that is not included. you want to pay for a shrimp and eat a lobster You should review and read what the product includes and does not include. At no time does it provide any professional guide. If you not are agree not book, no paid and not reclaim If you wanted a professional guide you should have asked and we could have provided one. The cost would have been double. Regarding the queues in Montserrat, if it is true, it usually happens. It's not our fault! Regards,

Private tour Fantastic made to order
Pedro our driver was very accommodating and allowed us to spend more time in Montserrat. We had already toured most of the city on previous day - this allowed us more time in Montserrat. Very interesting location and we were able to return to the city by an alternate route to view more of the area. Great Tour!

Barcelona
We loved Pedro our driver. He was so knowledgeable and didn't have a time limit on most places we stopped. We stayed about 9 hours and saw everything. Loved Barcelona. Would recommend to anyone.

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Tour Barcelona and Montserrat 8 Hours: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Barcelona.
How much does Private Tour Barcelona and Montserrat 8 Hours cost?
+
Prices start at $1580 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 Private Tour Barcelona and Montserrat 8 Hours take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Private Tour Barcelona and Montserrat 8 Hours worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 17 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 Private Tour Barcelona and Montserrat 8 Hours?
+
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 Private Tour Barcelona and Montserrat 8 Hours suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Tour Barcelona and Montserrat 8 Hours?
+
Around 6 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour Barcelona and Montserrat 8 Hours 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.
