What will you recommend as the best daytrips to do from Barcelona? Should we book these through an agency or do them ourselves?

Among the most popular are Monserrat, Girona/Figueres (one long day), and Tarragona, all of which are easy on your own.

In 2017, we used Spanish Trails for 3 day trips from Barcelona - Priorat Wine Country, Tarragona (private), and Girona/Costa Brava. It would have been impossible for my husband and me to do the Priorat tour independently. I know we could have traveled independently to Girona and Tarragona, but I wanted us to just relax and enjoy ourselves without me worrying about logistics all day (which I will do). All three tours were great.

I would highly recommend Montserrat which is easily done in a day. If you enjoy hiking I recommend taking the funicular up to the top of the mountain for some awesome views. I love Girona and its an hour from Barcelona. Ideally, I'd stay at least a night (or more), but you could see a lot in a day. You can do both very easily on your own.
