WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Parc de Montjuic
You will start the day at the Montjuïc Mountain, from where you can appreciate the splendid panoramic views of the city. The mountain was a strategy to defend the city against attacks. Now it is home to the famous Miró foundation and the Caixa Forúm. These and other buildings on Montjuïc, perfectly illustrate examples of modern art and contemporary architecture.
2. Port Vell
After Montjuïc you will head to Barcelona’s coast, passing by the Columbus Monument and the Gothic Drassanes. The beach is surrounded by the latest architecture, best represented by the World Trade Centre and the transformed Old Port. Maintaining its authentic charisma, Port Vell is now full of restaurants, nightclubs and fantastic shops.
3. Gothic Quarter (Barri Gotic)
You will enjoy a stroll in the Gothic Quarter, known as one of the districts that are part of Ciutat Vella, the old town of the city. In Ciutat Vella, where the history of Barcelona began, you will experience modernity woven with Roman and medieval imprints. There you will learn about the Catalan traditions and Barcelona’s origins, while exploring the enchanting corners, picturesque plazas and the narrow alleys of the Gothic quarter.
4. L'Eixample District
To continue the tour we will drive you through the Eixample district, designed by Ildefons Cerdà after 1895 , to expand the city. (The word “Eixample” actually means “expansion” in Catalan). Passing by the streets of this elegant neighborhood, you will note that Cerdà’s concept of urban planning was revolutionary and utopian.
5. Basilica de la Sagrada Familia
Our guide will than take you to the breathtaking Sagrada Familia. Get inspired by Gaudi's masterpiece, considered as the most emblematic landmark of Barcelona. There are no words to describe the feeling one gets when entering this magnificent temple of Modernism. The organic shapes found throughout its structure, the light filtering through its stained glass windows and the symbolic nature of the building’s sculpted façade will probably be the highlight of this tour.
6. Passeig de Gracia
In this tour you will also get the opportunity to pass through the luxurious avenue of Passeig de Gracia, with its typical Catalan architecture. The avenue is home to the most remarkable façades of modernist buildings, including Gaudi’s La Pedrera, Casa Batlló and Domènech's Casa Lleó - Morera or Casa Ametller.
7.
After visiting Barcelona, we will take the road to the mystic mountain of Montserrat, to discover this awe-inspiring natural monument and learn about its importance to the Catalan people.This magnificent 4,000-foot wonder is easily recognizable by its “serrated” top from which it got its name.
8. Abadia de Montserrat
You will visit the Benedictine monastery of Santa Maria de Montserrat which enjoys a stunning location, surrounded by a scenic natural landscape before we wander in the monastery surroundings. Enjoy the unparalleled views offered by this region, which was declared as a Natural Park in 1987. We will also discover the Holy Cave where the virgin,represented by the Romanesque statue of the “Black Madonna”, is said to have appeared. The site has, since then, become an authentic center for pilgrimage and prayer. At the end of the tour, after uncovering all the secrets of Barcelona and Montserrat the guide will bring you back to your accommodation.

Our group loved this entire experience. The tour was absolutely beautiful and we were able to see everything before large crowds arrived. Omid was very knowledgeable and when one of our group members started feeling ill Omid went above and beyond to make sure she was attended to as well as to make sure the group event kept on schedule.

We had a very engaging and informative trip. Our guide, Matt patiently explained each site that we go to, spoke clearly and most importantly a sense of humour while walking us through the histories in Barcelona. Pace was really good, not rushed. We had time at each location, linger a bit, toilet breaks etc.

We had a short time in Barcelona and this is one good day trip to invest in.

Two thumbs up.

We had the best day ever thanks to our guide Omid and our driver Esther! They were so accommodating to my family of 20 with all our additional stops and needs. Omid’s knowledge of both Montserrat and Sagrada Familia made the spectacular even more spectacular! I’d highly recommend this tour and ask for Omid!

We had a great day exploring the most amazing sights on this tour! Our guide, Matt, was the best!!

It’s a full day so be sure you are well rested and have comfy shoes! We started at the beautiful Montserrat where the sights are breathtaking. We also appreciated the free time the tour included for our own sightseeing. We had just enough time to explore, have lunch and do a little souvenir shopping.

We then spent time exploring key sights in Barcelona, including the Gothic area.

Finally, we ended with the amazing tour of the Sagrada Familia basilica. It’s just beautiful and there’s plenty of time to visit each station and learn about the history.

It was a full day and we Matt was very accommodating to all guests and prepared for our questions. Being picked up and dropped off is an added bonus!
