The 4 Best Private Hiking Tours in Spain

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 172 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $89Our pick

Travel from Barcelona in an eight-person van with guides such as Jordi, Frank, Juan, or Jesus. Visit Montserrat Basilica, ride the steep Sant Joan Funicular, and walk downhill through the Natural Park. The six-hour trip includes transport, entrance, funicular ticket, and walking poles, but not food or drinks.

“Juan was amazing! He was so knowledgeable, kind, easy-going, and also kept a great pace for the tour. My mom and I agreed it was the best tour we had in Spain ( and we had many). The perfect mini escape from the city with the perfect combination of both nature and history. You don’t have to be a great hiker to enjoy. We first went to the monetary and then took the funicular up and hiked down about 1 hour at an easy pace. Would highly highly recommend.”

We saw incredible views from multiple locations and then had a glass of wine while watching the sunset! To top it off, we enjoyed stargazing under the clear sky. A truly spectacular afternoon and night! One note: The road was very windy so be prepared if you get motion sickness.”
