Best of Barcelona and Montserrat - Pickup & Skip-the-Line tickets

Amazing!!

This was an amazing experience. Marta was a splendid tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and professional. You could tell that she is very passionate about where she lives. We got to experience and see so many great places and learn about all the history of Monserrat and Barcelona. My family and I had a great time on this tour. Marta also provided an excellent suggestion for food. Our driver was also great and the van was nice and clean. One of the other nice parts of this tour was the pick up and drop off from our hotel. Super convenient!! I would highly suggest this tour if you don’t have a ton of time to explore in Barcelona.

Great tour

Great tour. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and very pleasant to listen to. Had skip the line tickets for the park and sagrata familia. Hotel pick up was a bonus for us. This tour company very easy to work with and great price. Jerry Toronto, Canada

Just do this!

Martha was born to lead this tour. We opted for the Montserrat tour along with the tour of the Sagrada Familia and Park Guell, all with Skip-the-Line tickets. Her knowledge of the area was amazing. She interspersed that knowledge with facts about culture and history. I cannot recommend this tour more highly. It was definitely one of the highlights of our time in Spain.

A must-see tour in 1 day

The experience to visit Montserrat, Montjuic & Park Guell is priceless, such amazing views along the way. And the tour ends with outside tour of the beautiful architecture of the Sagrada Familia. Thanks to our very knowledgable tour guide Martha, & to the good driver, we had an experience of a lifetime.

Great first trip to Barcelona

We really enjoyed our Barcelona and Montserrat tour, also toured Park Guell. It all was very smooth, picked up from the port, comfortable van, wonderful guide, dropped off at the end of the tour at our hotel. Highly recommend.

A wonderful tour with a wonderful guide

My wife and I spent a wonderful day with our guide Marta at Montserrat and Barcelona. Marta was an outstanding guide who was very professional, knowledgeable, and pleasant throughout our tour. We spent a wonderful time enjoying the sights, taking hundreds of photos and enjoyed a splendid lunch of tapas!! Thank you, Marta, for making our trip so fun, joyous and adventurous! Most highly recommended!!!!

fantastic!

This was terrific. Our guide Marta was fantastic; very knowledgeable and nice. The car was brand new and comfortable. We loved everything about it.

Don't miss out!

Tour was great. Saw many different places and learned a lot about the history and people. Our guide and driver were wonderful.

Planning your precious little time in Barcelona

3.5 days in Barcelona...what to do? So I contacted Dory at Barcelona Day Tours and asked for their recommendations. She was so wonderful. We emailed back a forth several times....her recommendations, things we were interested in, things that might not be good for us since we were traveling with my elderly parents, etc. In the end, she put together a 3.5 day itinerary for the 4 of us that we would have never been able to do on our own. You just don't know how much time things take, traffic in the city, the ins and outs, etc. Turns out Barcelona is a bit like NYC. Lots of traffic, no place to park, crowded. Dory planned our whole time with tours, guides, drivers and tickets. She gave us options and a week before our trip, when she learned the Picasso Museum would be closed the day we planned to go, she rearranged our itinerary and the tickets to accommodate this without any loss of sightseeing. We were busy but we felt like we saw a lot. Of our 14 day European tour (Spain, France, Italy), our 3 days in Barcelona in the company of Armando, George, Angel and Mar in their Mercedes touring vans were truly the best part. On Day 1, Armando picked us up from the airport in Barcelona and spent 4 hours touring us through the city. He gave us history and culture and current events in Barcelona. We connected with the city through Armando. He was lively, good English, witty, smart and attentive. During this tour, we saw La Segrada Familia with skip the line tickets arranged for by Dory and at the conclusion of the tour, Armando was waiting for us when we were done and whisked us away to our hotel for much needed sleep. Day 2, Armando picked us up in the morning, earlier than planned to avoid the traffic on his recommendation (8:15am) and drove us to Montserrat. What an amazing place. He stopped at strategic points on the drive so we could look up and marvel at this breathtaking place. He provided backdrop and history and walked with us to the monastery where he left us to explore on our own for 2 hours. When we were done, he met up with us and drove us to the heart of the oldest part of Barcelona where cars cannot go and dropped us as close to the Picasso museum as possible and gave us clear walking instructions and the tickets. Day 3, George picked us up at our hotel and took us to a family owned winery where we learned about the owner who was ahead of his time, the organic farming of grapes, the challenges they have in the area and tasted the fruits of their labor. Then he took us to another very small, locally owned winery where they make Cava and had an informative tour, tasting and lunch. At the end of the day, George drove us back to our hotel. George speaks perfect English, is a calm and competent driver (which is essential in Barcelona). Day 4, Angel (driver) and Mar (tour guide) picked us up at our hotel and took us to Casa Mila. Mar was a wonderful tour guide and brought Gaudi's Casa Mila to life for us on our very private tour. She explained life in Barcelona at the time this apartment was constructed and the social norms at the time. Angel picked us up right outside Casa Mila and navigated the very busy traffic of Barcelona, bringing us to another famous Gaudi building, Casa Batllo. While we didn't specifically tour this site, Mar walked us around the area and pointed out items of interest and the features of this property that contrasted with Casa Mila. After we saw as much as time would allow, Angel expertly navigated us to the cruise port and deposited us to the front door where we left for the rest of our trip...wishing we could take the Barcelona Day Tours team with us!! BDT arranged everything. Tours, tickets, drivers and guides. There was never a glitch. Their communication was excellent, keeping us informed every step of the way. Dory was a dream to work with and Everyone's English was excellent and all the drivers/guides were engaging and provided insight on the life of Catalunyans. While everything was planned, we also had plenty of unplanned time and the BDT staff made restaurant recommendations, etc. I highly recommend Barcelona Day Tours. They take the guessing and worry out of planning your precious little time in their beautiful city! I only wish there was a company and team like BDT in every city we visited.

Barcelona Day tours review

We did the Barcelona City Tour and Familia Sagrada with Barcelona DayTours. Noelia the tour guide was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of information. Ali, the driver was a great driver and I happened to leave a bag which has my foldable walikg cane and a jacket that I like to wear. Ali came back and delivered back the bag to me. Moises did our Monserrat tour and he was an excellent tour guide. I wouldn't hesitate doing business again with Barcelona Day Tours

Complete Catalonian highlights

This tour was totally awesome - Montserrat was beautiful (although it was a cloudy and rainy day - nevertheless the beauty of the place was still quite evident) and the tour of the sites of Barcelona was outstanding (as I am fascinated by the architecture of Gaudi this was a dream tour), Skipping the line is also the way to go - it saves so much time that it is well worth the extra that you pay. Ending the day at La Sagrada Familia was perfect as we could then enter the Cathedral and take our time viewing it as it was the last stop of the day. I have been many times to the Cathedral over the years and it has been interesting to watch the continuing progress in their quest to complete it which only added to my interest. I highly recommend this your - especially if you have limited time in Barcelona.

Nice small tour to see highlights of Barcelona.

Nice overall tour of Barcelona. Love it was a small group tour. The drive up to Montserrat were breathtaking. Even in late September, it was a bit warm so bringing water was a must especially for walking around Park Guell.

Full day tour of Barcelona with Monserrat

We were very pleased with our full day tour of Barcelona and Monserrat. Spain Day Tours were easy to deal with and our tour guide Marta was amazing. Would not hesitate recommending this tour to anyone visiting Barcelona.

Great Day in Barcelona and Montserrat!

We are a family of four that were on a cruise ending in Barcelona. Two of us had never been to Barcelona, therefore we all decided to to an all day private tour. We LOVED the day with our guide, Fabio! He provided us with so much historical information that truly enhanced our experience. He was polite, courteous and always made sure that we were comfortable and had what we needed. I will continue to use Barcelona Day Tours when we return to Barcelona, and would highly recommend them to others.

Great tour

I booked a Montserrat tour and Barcelona City Tour with skip the line tickets on August 8-9 with Spain Day Tours. The tour was great and one of the best tour we had because of the tour guide Martha Fernandez. She was very kind, knowledgeable and made sure we have enough time to explore the best places to see. She even took our pictures and made us feel comfortable. I highly recommend her if you want your customers to be happy. Please tell Martha "thanks again"

Great port excursion in Barcelona

We booked the Montserrat and Barcelona full day tour for our Barcelona port stop while on a cruise, and it was fantastic! We were picked up right at the ship, and started out day at Montserrat. After a few hours there, we headed into Barcelona. Our first stop was Park Guell and we had skip the line tickets. Then we stopped at Sagrada Familia and toured the outside (we didn't go inside). Our driver took us past several other sites including works from Gaudi and the olympic park before returning to the ship with plenty of time. It was a great way to see a lot of the city, and help us determine we definitely want to come back and spend more time in Barcelona. Marta was an amazing guide - so passionate, knowledgeable and kind. We had a wonderful time on this excursion and highly recommend.

Barcelona in a day

This tour was amazing!! Montserrat was spectacular and the sights and views we were able to see and visit in the city were wonderful! Christine (I think that was her name), our tour guide was fabulous! I was so grateful to be picked up at the port and dropped off at our hotel. The size of the group was perfect as well. Thank you also for the quick communication throughout the planning process. Great way to end our Mediterranean vacation!! Highly recommend this company!

Great tour in Barcelona & Montserrat!

This tour was very good-hit all the main spots we wanted to see in Barcelona and Montserrat with a very informative tour guide. There was a last minute change to go to Montserrat first and Barcelona tour afterwards; I think the Barcelona portion got rushed and there were drivebys that should have been stops, but all in all we have a great time. Communication from the tour company was excellent.

The perfect start in Barcelona

This was the perfect intro tour to Barcelona! Communication was wonderful right from the beginning. Our guide was knowledgeable and answered every question with ease! We couldn't ask for anything more! We will tell anyone we know heading to Barcelona to book a tour with this company!

Excellent tour

The best part of this tour was the pick up at our hotel, & then drove us door to door to each attraction. The van was clean & comfortable. Our tour guide was knowledgeable & friendly. Gave us lots of information & history of Barcelona. Even the driver was excellent. Did a great job driving on the curvy mountain roads. I highly recommend this tour, especially for people who doesn't want to go through the trouble of figuring out how to get here & there on their own. I also believe we get to see more by joining the tour than if we were to go on our own.

Great tour to see Barcelona highlights!

Giovanni was super nice, informative and funny! A great tour for those traveling for a short period of time but that would like to see the highlights!

Great Tour and Experience!

Did a Mediterranean Cruise on Viking Ocean cruises and was disappointed that two of the optional tour excursions (Monserrat Abby and Park Guell) that I had been interested were sold out. I contacted Barcelona Day Tours and easily arranged for a small group day tour to Monserrat Abby/Barcelona Highlight which included optional purchase for skip the line Park Guell guided tour. The tour vehicle picked us up and dropped off our party at pier directly alongside where ship was docked. The tour guide Marta was extremely knowledgable and provided us with a fabulous tour of each location we visited. Definitely would highly recommended to book any Barcelona excursion with this company. They were very cooperative & responsive to all questions prior to booking cruise and all my traveling partners were in total agreement that this experience far surpassed our expectations on this excursion.

Fantastic Tour

We were picked up by cab at our hotel and then taken to a mini bus, there we met our tour guide Marta. She was awesome . She explained every detail on everything we saw. We were on the City Tour and there was a lot to take in . The Le Merce Festival was taking place that weekend .Many streets were blocked off. She wanted us to see some of the parade so we parked the mini van and we made our way through the crowd. What fun. We went to Park Guell and we were very impressed with Gaudi's work and the architecture. We covered a lot of the highlights of Barcelona and thanks to Marta who made the tour so very interesting .We were dropped off at our cruise ship with plenty of time to checkin .

Barcelona, We Love You!

We were met at the airport by Christian who took us on a four hour guided tour before dropping us at our hotel. The next day we had an eight hour tour including Montserrat and a Cava (delicious sparkling wine) tour. Barcelona Day Tours also arranged tickets to a Flamenco dinner show as well as transportation for our return to the airport. All drivers and tour guides were top notch. Email correspondences with Mark Joseph at Barcelona Day Tours were informative and very thorough. We could not be happier with the service and professionalism we received. Everything promised was delivered and more. We highly recommend using this company for your vacation plans as we will if we return to Spain. Thank you Mark Joseph and Barcelona Day Tours for making our holiday special and stress-free.

Great day in Barcelona

We were picked up promptly from the cruise ship at the expected time in a very nice Mercedes’ mini bus. Our guide was passionate about his city and very informative all day. Montserrat was beautiful and the views amazing. Park Guel was interesting and we were given the opportunity to purchase tickets in advance. They would have also arranged tickets to the Sagrada familia if we wanted. After the tour we were dropped off with our luggage at the hotel. We have traveled to many cities and used similar services. This one was outstanding.

Perfect, Easy, Excellent! You won't regret it!

Excellent trip! Booking with Dory was easy. We were coming off a cruise and wanted to take a quick tour and transfer back to the hotel. Advanced tickets were purchased etc. Our Guide was phenomenal. Ricardo and his direct boss were excellent and very accommodating, tailoring our private trip with his suggestions. While they must stay with the car, it's always fantastic to get knowledgeable guide/drivers like Ricardo who know the area and the sites, but also know where to park and where to pick you up to make your trip not only efficient, but so easy to manage. He gave us some extra touring information near the Montserrat areas and he was just excellent. Coming into the City, he was a world of information and really made it easy to navigate both Park Guell and the Sagrada. We were traveling with family, seniors and the kids.....Ricardo just made it easy. All the tickets were booked.... easy. As travelers to the area multiple times, I think this trip was by far the way to go! All the way around, perfect day and excellent tour.

Barcelona Sights and Montserrat

We toured with Spain Day Tours on 7/25/22. Booking was easy. The company worked with us when there was an issue with our original tour and getting us to the pick up. We saw so many things, where the Olympics held, Magic Fountain, Sagrada Familia, Paul Guell, the Montserrat and more. Elayna ( guide) and Ricardo ( driver) we’re great. Elayna was personable, made everyone feel welcomed, she gave great explanations. She knew the best places for pictures. We were dropped off at Sagrada with tickets to go inside. It’s a must see! Thank you for arranging all of this!

Amazing Day in Montserrat & Barcelona!

Barcelona Day Tours was excellent. They were very responsive to my emails and questions. They continuously provided updates and reconfirmations up until the day of our tour. Our guide, Mark, was absolutely wonderful. As promised, he was waiting for us at the Barcelona Port. We had such a sigh of relief when we saw him and knew immediately that we were in good hands. Mark was professional, friendly, and that meant a great deal to us. My family had such a great time in Montserrat and Barcelona, Park Guell, La Familia Sagrada. We were so happy to see the Black Madonna in Montserrat. We explored so much and learned a great deal of information at each place visited. Mark was truly knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. Should any of my other family members and friends visit Barcelona, I will definitely recommend Barcelona Day Tours. Again, thank you to Barcelona Day Tours for making our visit very memorable and stress free.

Great tour after Disembarking

We did a tour of Montserrat, skip the line of Park Guell and City of Barcelona with Barcelona Day Tours and it was amazing. We were picked up on time and dropped of at our hotel at the end of the tour.  Our driver and Guide were very knowledgeable and made the experience so much better. They get a 10 for communication during booking, cleanliness of vehicle and overall experience.  If your not staying in Barcelona they have tours that will take you back to the ship or airport. 

Amazing experience in Barcelona

Completed a wonderful post cruise stay in an amazing city of Barcelona, we were fortunate to book tours with Barcelona city tours. Had great experience start from booking, Mark is very prompt to reply to all our queries. We got picked up at the port w luggages and all, completed the wonderful tour with fun, friendly and patient Javier then dropped off at our hotel. We also did the Barcelona city highlights another time snd same very nice and fun experience, hot picked up from our hotel and was dropped off at the end. Highly recommended, will definitely use this company for future travels in Barcelona

Fantastic one day in Montserrat and Barcelona

We had one day in Barcelona and Marta and our driver gave us an excellent tour of Montserrat and the highlights of Barcelona. Very flexible and made sure we saw everything on our list. Struck gold with this tour!

Fabulous Tour

Marta was our tour guide and we struck gold with her. Absolutely wonderful day. Anything and everything we needed to know she could answer. Very accommodating when possible. Loved this tour!

A great overview of Barcelona

We loved the entire day. Marta brought Barcelona alive for us, she obviously loves her city! Not only did she give us a lot of history of the area as we drove from the cruise terminal to Monserrat, she entertained our own questions with extremely knowledgable answers. We saw all the Gaudi locations, though only the outside of La Sagrada Familia. She explained a lot of the symbolism on the exterior of that structure. Then we went to Park Gruell, and past some other Gaudi buildings, and on to the Olympic hill, where you can see the entire city of Barcelona laid out before you. It was a long day, but a good one. There are full and half day tours available, this was a full day tour.

Over the top AWESOME !

Can I leave more than 5 dots? My husband and I had a fantastic day with our guide Elena and driver Armando. We could not have asked for a better team. They picked us up at the cruise port, showed us all around Montserrat, took us for to a small town to enjoy a local dining experience for lunch then took us on a Cava tour before delivering us to our hotel in Barcelona. We highly recommend these two. Elena was over the top when it comes to being knowledgeable and personable. We thoroughly enjoyed spending the day with them.

Best tour company you can find!

We have used Barcelona Day tours in the past, and they have outdone themselves. This is one of the best tour companies you can find. Not only did we plan our full day tour with them and or transfers, they helped us secure great tickets to the Flamingo show, guided tour of Sagrada Familia and finally a guided tour of Palau De La Musica!! All aspects of our time in Barcelona was guided by this company. There is no need to use anyone else!

Barcelona and Montserrat private tour

We recently visited Barcelona for the first time after taking a transatlantic cruise. We booked a private tour of Barcelona and Montserrat. Our very personable and friendly driver Christian picked us up at our hotel in his very nice clean car and proceeded to spend the next 8 hours enlightening us on the wonders of the city and Montserrat. We were extremely happy with the tour and would highly recommend it.

Wonderful Experience.

My husband and I had a wonderful day with Marta touring Montserrat and Barcelona. Marta was extremely knowledgeable, fun, and entertaining. It was clear that she loved Spain, and her enthusiasm radiated throughout the day. No question went unanswered and no request was too much trouble. I would highly recommend this tour, and our wonderful guide.

Very nice day tour

It was a great day tour of Montserrat and Barcelona with availed ticket for Park Guëll. Marta was a very knowledgeable and entertaining tour guide and Javier took care of our transportation as well. Marta’s knowledge about Barcelona is truly commendable and she tells it in a way that’s really interesting to know about.

Best tour EVER!

My husband and I are well traveled. We just enjoyed the best tour of our lives. We were picked up from the airport in a new, VERY clean Mercedes sedan. We had a driver and an amazing tour guide that treated us like royalty and assured that we saw everything that we wanted to explore in Barcelona. The driver dropped us off and picked us up as close as possible at each site. ( a blessing for our elderly bones) The tour guide is wonderfully knowledgeable. He explained every little detail and story about each of the sites. So many stories were shared! We finished with a great appreciation of Barcelona are in awe of it’s history and beauty.

Amazing tour company!

Marta was amazing tour guide. Very knowledgeable. The communication from the very beginning when I was planning the trip was great. Mark was amazing in help me plan the tour. I would highly recommend them!

Best Barcelona tour company

On April 3 we booked a port pick-up, all-day tour and hotel drop off with Barcelona Day Tours for a visit to Montserrat, city tour of Barcelona and Park Guell tour.  Marta our guide was most enthusiastic and knowledgeable about all things Barcelona and especially Sagrada Familia.  We were picked up from our cruise port on time and immediately drove to Montserrat, to beat the crowds.  It is such a lovely, peaceful place in the mountains - I could have stayed there all day in the stillness and beauty.  We stayed a couple of hours and then back to Barcelona. Saw many of the popular sites and were allowed to get out at various spots for photos. I skipped Park Guell (stayed in van), as it was cold and raining but the others in the group pressed on and said it was fun. We had an outside walking tour of the Sagrada Familia cathedral and Marta pointed out so many fascinating details I never would have noticed. The tour company is so accommodating and all spoke excellent English. The convenience of being picked up at the port - with luggage - and then dropped at the hotel later is such a great service. This is a great excursion - you see so much in one day! Good value for the money.

Barcelona tour

Great trip. Saw many interesting sites of Barcelona. Our guide/driver, Jordi, was very knowledgeable about the history. Even though it was a rainy day, my group was most impressed with the city tour. I would highly recommend this company. My experience from the very beginning was exceptional.

Really good value

Wonderful trip with very personable and knowledgeable guide Marta and patient driver. Get really good value for money in seeing a lot in one day but set at a comfortable pace by the guide. Highly recommend!

Excellent Shore Excursion

We went on Monserrat and Cava tour as shore excursion. The guide was very informative and the time at each venue was perfect! I would definitely tour with this company again.

Great tour

We had a great time. The guide Martha was very knowledgeable. I would recommend your tour to anyone.

park guell

Ticket is 10 euro at the time of visit & very inside from main road . too much climbing for old people. but its worth visiting .park closes at sunset . so go early to get good view & pictures. one & half hour required to see park.

I love Barcelona!

Our guide Jordi is amazing, very friendly and helpful. As Indonesian I am happy that he has been in Bali twice. Would recommend this tour company to anybody plans to visit Barcelona!

This is a great tour if...

This is a great tour if you want to have an overall view of the highlights os Barcelona in one day. Our guide was very nice, knowledgeable and patient with everyone

Great value

Such a great time! Excellent communication. Ricardo was a great guide with a lot of good information. You would not regret signing up for this tour!

Excellent Tour and Guide

With limited time in Barcelona, I wanted a comprehensive all-day tour. The tour company was great at communicating where to meet and also about getting the La Sagrada ticket. Our guide Ricardo was excellent. He was so knowledgeable about the city's history and even showed us historical pictures for comparison. The only glitch was La Sagrada ticket time was about 90 minutes later than when we arrived. Fortunately they allowed me in early so I could stay with the group. Overall a very good experience.
