Overview of your Barcelona tour

A great day out of the city to the mountain and abbey of Montserrat and the seaside village of Sitges, the two must see place outside Barcelona. Mercedes Benz Van / Private driver and private guide / Exclusive Private Tour Pick up at Barcelona's harbour and Airport included in the price. Marvel at the most spectacular views of the iconic Montserrat with its Black Madonna and monastery and visit Sitges, a charming seaside town, delicious local restaurants and cute shops. Its beaches are some of the best on the Mediterranean coastline. Sitges has been a favorite seaside resort town since the 19th century. It's got beautiful architecture as it was the cradle of the so called "Indianos" or "Americanos", those who migrated to Cuba in the 18th century in search of fortune and, on their return, build mansions in town to show their adventure had been a success. You will relish Mediterranean delicacies in a traditional Spanish restaurant by the sea after the stroll in town.
