You explore on foot at each stop while your driver handles the logistics, with return transport included.

What to expect
You'll be collected from your accommodation or port in a private vehicle and driven to each Barcelona landmark, stopping to explore on foot. Your driver remains with the car while you visit interiors or wander the streets. After covering the city's main draw—Gaudí's buildings, Montjuïc, and the waterfront—you'll head northwest towards Montserrat, about an hour's drive. The landscape shifts from urban to dramatic rock formations as you approach the monastery perched among towering stone peaks. Budget time for queues at popular sites and wear comfortable shoes; the abbey grounds involve some walking on uneven terrain.
