About this private tour

Mountains, a medieval city and the sea all fit into one private day of about eleven hours, door to door. A private guide and a driver meet your group at its Barcelona hotel or apartment with a vehicle reserved for you alone, and the first leg climbs into the Montserrat massif and its rock formations. High on the mountain, your guide leads the visit to the Benedictine monastery and its basilica, home of La Moreneta, a wooden statue of the Virgin from the 12th century. The views from up there reach far across the surrounding country.

Girona follows, explored on foot: the cobbled lanes of the old town and the Jewish Quarter, the Arab Baths and the cathedral, and the old walls and corners that appeared in Game of Thrones, in a city whose Roman founding dates to 77 BC. From there the road turns to the Costa Brava for clifftop viewpoints and a few stops by the water, with time for photographs and a rest before the same guide and driver return you to your hotel or apartment. Your group sets the pace throughout and pays one price for up to six guests.

The day, stop by stop

5 stops in the order of the day, from pickup to drop-off.

  1. Hotel pickup in Barcelona

    The day starts at your hotel or apartment in Barcelona, where your private guide and driver meet you with a vehicle reserved for your group.

  2. Montserrat Monastery

    The road climbs among the rock formations of the Montserrat massif to the Benedictine monastery and basilica on the mountaintop. Inside is La Moreneta, a revered statue of the Virgin of Montserrat carved from wood in the 12th century, and all around are wide views of the countryside below.

  3. Girona Old Town

    Girona's story starts with its Roman founding in 77 BC, and you walk the cobbled streets of its medieval old town and its historic Jewish Quarter. The route passes the cathedral and the Arab Baths, along with old walls and corners where Game of Thrones was filmed.

  4. Costa Brava coastline

    Next comes the rocky Mediterranean shore of the Costa Brava, with stops at clifftop viewpoints and pleasant places by the sea for photos and a rest.

  5. Return to Barcelona

    To end the tour, your guide and driver take you back to your hotel or apartment in Barcelona.

FAQ

Questions about this tour

Where are we picked up, and can the timing change?

There is no fixed meeting point. Since the tour is private, the driver and guide come to your hotel or apartment in Barcelona and work around your group's schedule.

In what way is this tour private?

The vehicle, the professional guide and the pace are yours alone, and the price is per group, not per person. You never share the day with other travelers, and the stops can shift toward what your group wants to see.

What do guests remember most?

Most guests name two things. One is the Montserrat Monastery on its mountaintop, with La Moreneta, the Virgin's statue that dates back centuries. The other is the walk through Girona's medieval streets, which became famous through Game of Thrones filming.

How long is the day, and how much walking is there?

Expect about 11 hours from pickup to drop-off. The walking is at an easy pace: around the Montserrat grounds, through the Jewish Quarter and old town of Girona, and between the viewpoints on the Costa Brava. Wear comfortable shoes.
