HIGHLIGHTS Superlative and moderate Walking Horseback riding in Montserrat´s National Park TOUR DESCRIPTION We walk up to Montserrat, from where we enjoy the stunning views from the Natural Park of Montserrat and the rest of Catalonia from a bird´s eye view. During the walk we are on the same paths used by pilgrims hundreds of years ago, we get inspired by Montserrat’s fascinating flora and fauna and we experience unique ways where rocky pillars and ravines show us how inner mysterious water emerge from the hidden center of the massif. Later on we head to the ranch, where 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 and sawtooth mountain range. ## Before you book - Meeting point: UNIque Tours Barcelona - 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 49 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 49 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 98% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 48 of 49. - 5 stars: 47 (96%) - 4 stars: 1 (2%) - 3 stars: 1 (2%) - 2 stars: 0 (0%) - 1 star: 0 (0%) ### What reviewers say Reviewers praise the views, gentle horses and informative guides, but some wanted stops for photos on the ride. **Praised:** - Knowledgeable guides who explain Montserrat's history - Gentle horses and a relaxed ride suitable for beginners - Mountain views from the horse ride and monastery walks - A varied mix of riding, walking and monastery sightseeing - Small groups that make it easier to socialise **Complaints:** - Some praise the riding guides' support, while others report little attention or interaction - Limited opportunities to stop for photos during the horse ride Written by Guidekin from the 44 most recent English reviews on Viator & Tripadvisor (2022-02-21 to 2026-09-12); last checked 2026-10-03. ## What's included - Entrance to Montserrat Monastery Basilica - Guided walk through Montserrat Natural Park with certified, professional guides - Eight-seater air-conditioned van for Premium small group, maximum 8 people - One-hour guided horseback ride in Montserrat Natural Park ## Not included - Gratuities - Drinks / Snacks ## Itinerary 1. **Barcelona** (55m) - Start your adventure in the vibrant city of Barcelona, where you’ll meet your guide and prepare for a scenic hour-long drive to Montserrat.
