Useful Information
Barcelona Day Trip: Montserrat, Colonia Guell and Gaudi Crypt
Your next stop is Montserrat, a craggy mountain outside of Barcelona. Montserrat is home to a Benedictine monastery founded in the 11th century and provides a mystical backdrop for the Virgin of Montserrat, the patron saint of Catalonia who is enshrined in the monastery's Royal Basilica.
Also at Montserrat, ride to the top of the mountain on the rack railway, and enjoy the panoramic views. You will have free time to explore Montserrat on your own and have lunch in one of the restaurants to taste the Spanish cuisine. Your guide will always be there to answer any questions.

Price was reasonable, bus was comfortable, and the guide was very informative and fluent in English (y Espanol, tambien). The bus stayed on a good schedule. Gaudi Crypt is a great Antoni Gaudi specimen. Montserrat and views from there up the St. Joan funicular were awe inspiring.
