Small-Group Private Guided Tour of Barcelona and Montserrat

Barcelona, Spain

Discover the delights of Barcelona and Montserrat, and gain insight into Spanish culture and heritage on this private full-day tour. Spin through Barcelona by air-conditioned minivan with a private guide and discover top attractions including the Calatrava Tower, the 20th-century National Palace, and the UNESCO–listed Sagrada Familia. Admire Art Nouveau buildings such as La Pedrera and Casa Batlló in the Gothic Quarter. Visit the Benedictine Santa Maria de Montserrat Abbey in Montserrat and enjoy personal attention from your guide on this small-group tour, limited to seven people.

Meet your private guide during a morning pickup at Barcelona–El Prat Airport, your Barcelona hotel, or the cruise port. Then, hop into your air-conditioned minivan and spin onward through the city.

Explore diverse districts like the downtown area and the Gothic Quarter — home to bold Art Nouveau buildings such as La Pedrera and Casa Batlló. Along the way, stop to admire top attractions including the UNESCO World Heritage–listed Sagrada Familia and listen as your private guide sheds light on Barcelona’s colorful past.

Swing along the seafront for sweeping views over the rolling waves, then head up Montjuïc Hill to see Calatrava Tower, the 20th-century National Palace, and the Olympic ring and stadium.

From here, take the 50-minute drive north to Santa Maria de Montserrat Abbey — a Benedictine monastery set on the high hillsides of Montserrat. Listen as your guide explains the abbey’s rich history and perhaps listen to the children’s choir — widely considered among the best in Europe.

Enjoy free time to explore Montserrat at your leisure, then return in comfort to your starting point where your tour will come to an end.
