Unforgettable Montserrat: Afternoon Train & Monastery from BCN

It was a last minute booking but everything was smooth sailing. We went to the meeting point at the bus station below and has a smooth check in. The tour guide Ivan and the conductor was awesome very friendly and had a clear presentation about the black madonna. At the end we all got a gift from the tour guide! How sweet was Ivan!

It’s a lot of information to take in but really worth it. The mountains are beautiful and the chapel is a wonderful surprise. The Black Madonna is breathtaking.

We had a great experience on our tour, beautiful place very interesting history and excellent tour guide. Love this place just short of time to explore more

while the office was a little difficult to get to, the bus ride, tour guide and bus driver were professional, courteous and accommodating. the tour was a moving experience and the view of the moutain was awesome

It was an excellent experience, beautiful place with knowledgeable tour guides, very organized noting that we were a group of over 30.

4 hours of travel and about 50 minutes at the site. The guide was very good and knowledgeable, but the tour itself was poor. We had really no time at the site, which is the whole purpose for going there.

We had a great guide. He gave us lots of information on the coach trip to the train station at Montserrat, and then kept us updated with the audio guide/headphones up until the priority access to the Black Madonna, and then we had plenty of time to explore the Monastery and the shops below before catching the coach back to Barcelona. Unfortunately the funicula to the monastery was not operating this day, so we travelled to the Monastery by the rack railway, which was still spectacular. The tour did not include the funicular to Sant Joan higher up the mountain, and we would not have had time as our 2pm tour ended back at Barcelona after 7pm and it was dark.

Tour guide (John?) did a great job for such a big group! Getting to touch the Black Madonna was special.

Miliana's guide was incredibly detailed, making everything easy to understand. She displayed remarkable patience and deep knowledge, truly enriching the learning experience.

This was a Great Tour. Sarah was Very friendly & attentive and was an excellent tour guide. We learnt so much about Montserrat, surrounding area & the Monastery from her. I am happy that we got cookies for our Liquor tickets. The Julia Bus ride & Cog wheel train ride was good. Montserrat was Beautiful. We were happy that we took this tour with Viator. Highly recommend. Just a note that the Julia tour office is in the Bus Station. Take the stairs in the bus station downstairs & walk pass # 11 bus post to the office building on the left. Go inside & look for the green Julia Office sign. We had a difficult time finding the office to sign in. Julia needs to be more specific to find the office in their booking. This was our only issue. Give yourself lots of time to get there.
