Beautiful,this was an amazing experience. The history and views were breath taken. You get a train up into the mountains and have time explore. They have a museum with various artwork. Overall worth a visit. But it does get busy and hot do recommend the morning trip.

This near full-day tour was a fun, fascinating, very scenic and so interesting. I had the best time with our driver Jorge and guide Sarah. They looked after us extremely well and gave us great advice and tips for our time at Montserrat. What an amazing place.

Beautiful scenery, cool temperature, and interesting monastery. Several restaurant options including fast food and an extensive buffet offering.

Our guide lorena and driver Jordi were top notch. Lorena was very knowledgeable, personable and patient. She's very passionate about her tours and takes the time to get to know the people on the tour. She had to speak in both English and Spanish... but kept her energy and devotion. Thanks so much Anna for a very enjoyable trip!

It is a great tour and should be taken. The only downside was our guide who spoke English with a very strong Spanish accent and spoke so quickly…..very hard to understand. I got the impression the Spanish speaking guests got a lot more information than the English speaking guests.

It was a great destination. Truly wonderful. The meeting point was a bit tricky to find using google maps. The tour guide was very good and we had plenty of time to do our own thing.

Our tour to Monserrat with Julia Travel was a great experience from start to finish. It was a 7 hour tour starting with a 1 hr bus ride to station where we got on the funicular up to the top of the mountain. Our tour guide Miriana was the best part of the trip. Excellent narration in English (not her native language)! She provided a great deal of information and kept the group informed as to where we needed to be at all times. Would highly recommend this tour!

Marvelous day with beautiful skies and stunning views. Miri did a great job explaining background and what we were witnessing.

If you love the mountains and want to experience religious beauty, then come visit Montserrat. We had Ivan as our tour guide and Gabriel drove our bus. Ivan was a trooper explaining everything in English and Spanish. His knowledge of the history was outstanding and he gave perfect instructions about our meeting times and places. He also gave us a good amount of time to explore on our own. Thank you Ivan for a fantastic tour!
