wwbill4 Posted March 26, 2013 #1 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Any suggestions for doing an excursion out to Montserrat before we get on the ship later that day. We are at the Hotel Flor Parks. Apparently Carnival does not stop at our hotel for a pre excursion prior to going to the ship. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill If you go by public transport, your problem is going to be what to do with your luggage. Most of the tours I have seen advertised wouldn't get you back in time to board your ship (assuming you are sailing around 5pm) This company seems to do a 5 hour tour starting at 9am. Local Barcelona Tours but you have to get to a central pickup point. Also, I don't know if they would let you leave your luggage on the bus while you go around Montserrat. I think your best best would be the Carnival tour.Where do they pick up from? Your hotel is in the middle of Las Ramblas. There must be somewhere nearby you could take the tour from.

I emailed our Hotel to see how far they are from the Carnival Hotel pick up points. Thanks, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wwbill4 Posted March 26, 2013 Author #6 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Where are the Carnival pickup points? Could you change and stay at a Carnival hotel? Both are both booked for the 25th of May. Tryp Apolo Porta Fira Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English_in_Spain Posted March 26, 2013 #7 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Both are both booked for the 25th of May.Tryp Apolo Porta Fira The Tryp Apolo is about 1/2 mile walk from Flor Parks, 10 minutes on the metro or you could take a taxi for €8-10. You could go there and pick up the Carnival tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
