The clever one. Coach out to Montserrat and Girona, then a 50-minute high-speed train back into Barcelona-Sants instead of two hours of evening motorway. It is the shortest two-stop day here — 08:30 to 17:40 — and at $104.80 it undercuts the small-group Girona van. Two honest caveats: the listing has no reviews yet, and it ends at Sants rather than at your hotel. A Montserrat and Girona tour by train is the shortest two-stop day in the full comparison of day trips from Barcelona.

Quick answer Two stops, home by 17:40 — the trade is the ending
$104.80 buys a coach to Montserrat with a guided monastery visit and admission, an hour and forty in Girona, and a 50-minute bullet train back to Barcelona-Sants. Total: nine hours ten, which is two and a half hours shorter than the three-stop coach day for three dollars less. The listing carries no reviews yet, and there is no hotel pickup at either end.
Key takeaways
- Home by 17:40 — the earliest finish of any two-stop day here
- Guided monastery visit with admission included; Girona is free entry
- The whole group travels in one coach and splits into guided groups of up to 25
- Free for children 0–3; from age 9 they pay the adult rate
- No reviews yet, so the operator's record is the only evidence available
Why the Train Leg Matters
The difference between this and the other Girona days is what happens after 16:00.
The evening return, compared
Every other multi-stop day here drives back into Barcelona in the evening. On the AP-7 that is when the traffic is, and it is the part of these tours reviewers complain about most.
| Tour | Ends | How you get back | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| This bus and train day | 17:40 | 50-minute high-speed train to Sants | $104.80 |
| Three-stop coach | 20:00 | Coach, with a Tossa de Mar stop first | $107.75 |
| Small-group van | 19:30 | Van, drop-off with the driver | $128.10 |
What you give up
Tossa de Mar, and about fifty minutes in Girona. This day gives Girona an hour and forty; the small-group van gives two and a half. If the Costa Brava is on your list, this is not the booking.
The other thing to weigh is the ending. Barcelona-Sants is on metro lines 3 and 5 and is well connected, but after nine hours out it is not the same as being dropped at your door. If that matters, the small-group van is the alternative.

Questions About This Tour
Is the train ticket included?
Yes. The listing names the bullet train among the transport included, along with the coach out and the roundtrip transfer from Barcelona. Buying the same Girona–Barcelona leg separately runs €17 to €50 depending on the service.
Why does it have no reviews?
It is a recent listing. That is not a mark against the operator, WE Barcelona, but it does mean there is no traveller evidence yet — which is worth knowing when the alternatives have 57 and 10 reviews respectively.
How big is the group?
One coach for transport, then split into guided groups of up to 25 people per guide once you arrive. That is smaller than the 55 to 71 on the cheapest Montserrat day but larger than the eight-person van.
Is there hotel pickup?
No, at either end. It departs from Carrer de Martí i Franquès and ends at Barcelona-Sants. Hotel pickup and drop-off are explicitly listed as not included.
What is the most scenic train ride from Barcelona?
For a day trip, the cremallera rack railway to Montserrat and the rack railway to Vall de Núria are the two that are attractions in themselves. The high-speed leg on this tour is fast rather than scenic — its value is the hour and a half it saves on the return.
How much time do you need at Montserrat monastery?
The two hours fifteen this tour allows covers a guided visit inside the monastery plus a look at the terraces. If you want the museum, the Black Madonna queue and a walk as well, the dedicated Montserrat days give three hours or more.
Is Girona worth going to from Barcelona?
Yes — it is the most complete medieval city within an hour of Barcelona, with the widest Gothic nave in the world, intact walls you can walk and one of Europe's best-preserved Jewish quarters. This tour gives it an hour and forty; the small-group van gives two and a half, and the train gives you as long as you want.
Does the tour end in the city centre?
It ends at Barcelona-Sants station, which is on metro lines 3 and 5 and well connected but is not the centre. If a drop-off at your accommodation matters, the small-group van arranges one with the driver.
A New Listing: How to Judge It
This tour has no reviews yet. That is not a mark against it, but it does change how you should read the page.
What the listing itself commits to
The operator, WE Barcelona, publishes a precise schedule rather than a vague one: 08:30 from Carrer de Martí i Franquès, two hours fifteen at Montserrat including a guided monastery visit with admission, an hour forty in Girona, then a 50-minute high-speed train arriving at Barcelona-Sants at 17:40. It also states that the whole group travels in one coach and is split into guided groups of up to 25 per guide on arrival.
Those are checkable commitments. The transport included covers the coach, the bullet train and the roundtrip transfer; meals, extra fees and hotel pickup are excluded. Free cancellation runs to 24 hours before the date, so booking it early costs nothing if you change your mind.
How it compares on evidence
The three-stop coach day has 57 reviews at 4.6 and adds Tossa de Mar; the small-group van has 10 at 4.8 and caps the group at eight. If a track record is what you want to buy, one of those is the safer booking.
What this listing has that neither of them does is the ending: home by 17:40 by train, rather than an evening on the AP-7. On a short trip that hour and a half back in Barcelona is worth something.
Who This Suits
A specific preference, cleanly served.
Book it if
You want two stops rather than three and would rather not spend the evening on a motorway.
- Back in the city by 17:40, with the evening intact
- Montserrat with a guided monastery visit and admission included
- You like the idea of the high-speed train leg
- Guided groups of 25 rather than a full 70-seat coach
- Children: free under 4, adult rate from 9
Book something else if
You want the Costa Brava — this day drops Tossa de Mar. You want hotel pickup or a drop-off in the centre; this one starts at Martí i Franquès and ends at Sants. Or you want reviews before you book, in which case the coach day has 57 of them.
Booking Notes
Four details that decide whether this is the right two-stop day for you.
Before you book

- Admission. The guided monastery visit at Montserrat is included; Girona's streets are free entry, and the Arab Baths are not part of this ticket.
- Group handling. One coach for transport, then guided groups of up to 25 per guide once you arrive.
- Child fares. Free under four; from age nine the adult rate applies.
