Well worth it - My mom got to cross this experience off her bucket list for her 80th birthday. She has arthritis, and it was hot, and a short steep climb from the gondola terminal was difficult. But she made it. Ivan was very attentive which I really appreciated. We didn’t have cash but I wish he had a QR code for his Venmo/Zelle so we could have tipped. The pick up was a far ways to walk for me mom. We didn’t notice the bus for people needing assistance until we were already there.

Montserrat - Sara & Miri were more than amazing. Our driver too. He handled the curved roads expertly, never felt any danger. Our tour guides were extra informative and did a wonderful job at explaining all the legends and all intricacies of the monastery. A highly rewarding experience conducted by truly dedicated and knowledgeable professionals, if you’re in Barcelona, the day trip to Montserrat through the Julia travel is a must.

A must visit place. - A week organised trip on a modern, air conditioned coach. The cable offered spectacular views and Montserrat was lovely. Not too busy as we to an afternoon trip, so got to see and do a lot in the few hours we had there. The guides Anna and Valaria were great and very informative.

Trip in summer - The tour is pretty Good, Guides Anna and Valeria are very good. The only thing is that i would have liked a longer tour, with more time to look around.

Spectacular views - Spectacular views! Lines were long even with a group pass to see the Black Madonna. So much to see and do, so little time! My only complaint was the bus seats. They were broken and the seat in front of you was right in your face. Our guide Miri was very knowledge!

Enjoyed Monserrat and Black Madonna - The tram ride was beautiful, Miri was very nice and informative. However, the bus we rode from and back to Barcelona was not very comfortable. Very little legroom. Barring that I would recommend this tour.
