Itinéraire
Quittez Barcelone à bord de l'un de nos autocars confortables et profitez d'une excursion inoubliable à Montserrat, l'une des destinations les plus emblématiques de Catalogne. Montserrat est mondialement connue pour son paysage rocheux, qui a été déclaré Parc national en 1987 pour protéger son patrimoine culturel et naturel.
Accompagné de votre Guide local, vous découvrirez l'histoire du monastère de Montserrat et son architecture unique. Émerveillez-vous devant la combinaison harmonieuse des styles gothique et Renaissance dans sa basilique et son sanctuaire. Vous découvrirez la légende qui explique la grande importance spirituelle du lieu : l'apparition miraculeuse d'une image de la Madone à l'Enfant dans l'une des grottes de la montagne, la Santa Cova. Cette sculpture sur bois, populairement connue sous le nom de La Moreneta, est conservée aujourd'hui dans l'église du monastère. Sa couleur foncée caractéristique est due à l'oxydation du vernis au fil du temps. Montserrat est également un centre important de spiritualité. Une communauté d'environ 80 moines bénédictins vit actuellement dans le monastère, suivant la règle de saint Benoît. Outre le complexe monastique principal, la montagne abrite de nombreuses églises et ermitages, dont certains sont aujourd'hui abandonnés, renforçant le caractère mystique du lieu.
Votre visite guidée comprend la dégustation d'excellentes liqueurs locales, la visite de l'Espace Audiovisuel et l'accès à La Moreneta. Après la visite guidée, vous aurez du temps libre pour admirer les paysages fabuleux et visiter le marché vendant des produits agricoles locaux et typiques.
A la fin de la visite, nous descendrons sur le train à crémaillère de Montserrat, un moyen confortable et spectaculaire de quitter la montagne tout en profitant d'une vue panoramique unique sur le massif et ses environs naturels. Ce voyage offre une perspective privilégiée du paysage et devient une expérience inoubliable pour les visiteurs.

It was an amazing experience, the guide was excellent. The views and the entire tour was absolutely once in a lifetime.
Fantastic experience. Amazed to be nature and wonderful mountains. The Basilica is a unique experience. Once in a lifetime. Highly recommended. We had a fantastic guide. A young woman called Nuria - great energy, very knowledgeable, and a lovely sense of humour.
Really enjoyed this tour, enjoyed the train ride back down. Liked the mixture of tour & free time, had a great tour guide
This is a really great day out, the area is beautiful and to see the Black Madonna is awesome. The trip is well run, everything well communicated & Lorena was a great guide, well worth the money. I would say maybe an extra 30 minutes free time would be good, as you have to choose between the museum, cable cars or trying the liquor etc, it's tricky to do everything in the time slot
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.
