How It Works

For groups of 12 or more, you may send us an inquiry at booking@sightseeingo.com. Although we do not guarantee bulk deals for all our tours, there are some tours for which we can offer discounted pricing. Ordinary hop-on-hop-off bus tickets are entitled to group savings. Attractions, pass items and combo tickets aren't.

Due the nature of this type of tour and varying demand, group travellers should be aware that there is no guarantee that the group will be able to travel altogether as the available seats vary from stop to stop and depends on demand each day. The group may need to split up and/or wait for the next bus(s).

As, we cannot guarantee that the group shall be able to travel together as one group, therefore we will reduce the group size down to 4-5 smaller groups per ticket (depending upon group size).

Known for its rugged terrain, the stunning scenery of Montserrat was designated as a National Park in 1987 to preserve its rich natural and cultural heritage.

Discover the site's history and the Monastery's architectural style by following your local guide. In Montserrat, there is currently a community of eighty monks who live under the rule of Saint Benedict. Love the sanctuary's and the basilica's Gothic and Renaissance elements. Discover the story behind the alleged miraculous appearance of the Black Madonna and Child in the Santa Cova cave. Their woodcarving is conserved in the monastery's church, which you are welcome to see. Because of a varnish reaction, the figure is called La Moreneta, or The Black Madonna, in popular culture.

You may explore a plethora of little chapels and trails in addition to the main area. After our guided tour, you'll have free time to shop for locally made goods, visit the audio-visual display, see the Black Madonna and basilica and receive a free gift, or sample the best liquors.
