At the Monastery area we browse amongst regional products in the local farmer’s market before we head to the ranch. There, we enjoy an unforgettable experience on horseback over the stunning countryside at Montserrat’s National Park. We follow a three Romanesque hermitages route while we are amused by this unique, jagged and sawtooth mountain range. Before we head back to Barcelona we still have time to relax at the ranch breathing in Nature. ## Before you book - Meeting point: Tours by Uni Pg. - Max 8 people: small group - Starts 08:00: one departure a day - Food not included: Drinks / Snacks - Strollers OK: infants accepted - Children from €99: ages 12 to 14 **Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point ## Key facts - Price: from €109 per person - Duration: 6h 30m - Rating: 4.94/5 from 52 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Tours by Uni - UNIque Tours Barcelona - Group: Shared, up to 8 travellers - Guide languages: German, English, Spanish - Start times: 08:00 - Booking: Instant confirmation, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-10-02 ## Reviews 4.94 from 52 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 98% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 51 of 52. - 5 stars: 50 (96%) - 4 stars: 1 (2%) - 3 stars: 1 (2%) - 2 stars: 0 (0%) - 1 star: 0 (0%) ## What's included - Premium Small Group maximum capacity 8 people - Certified and Professional guide - One hour of guided horseback riding - Eight-seater van with air conditioning - Entrance to the Basilica of Montserrat Monastery - Optional Guided walk through Montserrat Natural Park ## Not included - Gratuities - Drinks / Snacks ## Itinerary 1. **Barcelona** (55m) - Begin your journey in the lively city of Barcelona, where you’ll meet your guide and get ready for a picturesque hour-long drive to Montserrat.
