Our take

Montserrat, Girona and the Costa Brava are three separate day trips from Barcelona, and this one fits them into a single day. The pace is demanding, but the guides and organisation are highly rated. For visitors with only a few days in Barcelona who want mountains, a medieval city and the sea, it is the most complete option.
