Rejseplan
Forlad Barcelona om bord på en af vores komfortable busser og nyd en uforglemmelig udflugt til Montserrat, en af Cataloniens mest ikoniske destinationer. Montserrat er verdensberømt for sit klippefyldte landskab, som blev erklæret en nationalpark i 1987 for at beskytte sin kulturelle og naturlige arv.
Ledsaget af din lokale guide, vil du opdage Montserrat klosterets historie og dens unikke arkitektur. Beundre den harmoniske kombination af gotiske og renæssance stilarter i sin basilika og helligdom. Du vil lære om legenden, der forklarer den store åndelige betydning af stedet: det mirakuløse udseende af et billede af Madonna og Barnet i en af hulerne i bjerget, Santa Cova. Denne træskæring, populært kendt som La Moreneta, bevares i dag i klosterkirken. Dens karakteristiske mørke farve skyldes oxidationen af lakken over tid. Montserrat er også et vigtigt centrum for spiritualitet. Et fællesskab på ca. 80 benediktinske munker lever i dag i klosteret, efter den hellige Benedikt. Ud over det vigtigste klosterkompleks er bjerget hjemsted for talrige kirker og hermitage, hvoraf nogle nu er forladt, hvilket styrker stedets mystiske karakter.
Din guidede tur omfatter at smage fremragende lokale likører, et besøg i den audiovisuelle rum og adgang til La Moreneta. Efter den guidede tur vil du have fritid til at beundre det fabelagtige landskab og besøge markedet, der sælger lokale landbrugsprodukter og typiske produkter.
Ved afslutningen af turen, vil vi stige ned på Montserrat cogwheel tog, en komfortabel og spektakulær måde at forlade bjerget bagved, mens du nyder en unik panoramaudsigt over massiven og dens naturlige omgivelser. Denne rejse giver et privilegeret perspektiv på landskabet og bliver en uforglemmelig oplevelse for besøgende.

It was awesome and an amazing experience for the price. Prepare to take a lot of pictures and walking. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes as it was quite hot in the mountains. The views, landscape, history and architecture were incredible. Our tour guide Ivan was very knowledgeable and helpful.
Mira was fantastic! She made the trip so memorable with her knowledge and expertise. Montserrat was stunning and a great cultural and historical experience
You should know that if something happens as an emergency they don’t care and are happy just to take your money. I had this tour booked and became unwell the night before so I messaged them at 5 am to see what they could do and to let them know I wouldn’t be able to do that trip. They messsged back some time later and said I had to go in person to Julia travel and explain it to them so reluctantly my partner and I started making the journey. I wasn’t well and actually vomitted on the metro ( very embarrassing) and then my partner was like that- no we are turning back. While on the journey we even called Julia travel to explain and was told the same thing we had to go In person. To someone who is actively vomit ting and in the heat at 12.00 in the day, got them yo even suggest me to go to their office and speak to them from gracia was completely out of order. I raised a refund request with Viator and was refused because thrr ed your operator said no to the refund. Dont know about you, but I think that’s ridiculous given the money the have coming in for every trip would a refund of £108 really have killed them?
An amazing outing an hour out of Barcelona. We were spoilt with information about the history of Montserrat by our guide Sophia. The monastery was a great experience and the village had so much to offer. Enjoyed the liqueur tastings and bought a significant amount of these from the local vendors. The Sunday afternoon slot also ensured that it was not too busy.
Montserrat is beautiful and the history of the cathedral makes this an important venture to partake in. Our guide, Ivan, was so wonderful and shared so much great history and insight. We highly recommend this trip.
Lorena was an excellent tour guide, approachable and knowledgeable. Even if it was chaotic at first, Julia Tours is located inside the Estació del Nord, ground floor, platform 19. Carrer d'Alí Bei, 80. I should have read the comments because we kept going around in circles and did not know that Julia tours was inside the terminal. We were there 30 minutes before the tour but the line was so long we got our tickets at 2 pm and there still at lot of people behind us. The buses left late past 2pm. Julia travels should issue the tickets electronically the day before the trip so people will not get confused. Some went straight to the bus thinking the ticket was the confirmation letter. Overall, the tour was great, very informative and not too tiring for seniors like us. I gave overall 4 rating because the chaotic lines to get the tickets. 5 star rating for Lorena.
Pick-up point so easy to find. Tour guide Ivan was very informative and funny. His knowledge of the Monserrat was amazing. It was a beautiful day and the views were spectacular. Be prepared, it can be busy and we felt that there wasn't enough time at the monastery. The buildings and history and views were incredible - how they got the monastery built all those centuries ago, what a feat of engineering. The art gallery was beautiful, but again not enough time, to take our time. We did not manage to go up to the top of the funicular railway, to the very top of the mountain, again time. Also we were unable to do the "inter-active experience. We chose the option of tasting "4 typical liquors" of Monserrat. This was the biggest disappointment. The lady was so quick, the liquors were spilt over the counter, there was very little explanation of them - The whole experience took less that 4 minutes. Very disappointing and not impressed!! If you get the chance to go, definitely put it on your list - so worth a visit.
We had a great experience. We had no expectations before the trip.
We were allowed less than 15 minutes at the site rushed through. The tour guide said we would be refunded, and when we requested a refund it was rejected. We were in hours of traffic. The tour didn’t deliver, and they didn’t offer any explanation for not providing the itinerary we paid for, or adequately reimburse. An entire waste of our last day in Barcelona.
The tour itself was good. Finding Julia Travels was a bit difficult since they provided a specific street address with number, rather than simply state that they were located inside the Bus Station. Being unfamiliar with the area (as a foreigner) we were trying to find the address near the bus station, without realizing that they were located inside the bus station.
