WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1.
In the first part of the visit, we will enjoy a walking tour through El Born and the Gothic Quarter. We will have the opportunity to stroll along one of the most important streets of Barcelona and visit places such as the Arc de Triomf, the Cathedral of Barcelona or the Basilica of Santa Maria del Mar. You will marvel at the multitude of details on the façades of the buildings you will come across along the route. We will walk through the narrow streets of the old part of the city and discover its hidden secrets. At the end of the walking tour, we will board an air-conditioned bus for a panoramic tour of Barcelona.
2.
We will do different stops on Montjuic, which was the Olympic Area in 1992. At the first stop, we will access the Montjuic Cable Car, from where we will have breathtaking views of Barcelona. We will pass by Montjuic Castle, from where we will be able to take a trip to the past and discover part of the history of the city. We will make a last stop in Montjuic, in this case at the MNAC viewpoint, from where we will have a different perspective of Barcelona.
3.
It’s time to return to the office, but first, we will pass though Paseo de Gracia, one of the most important streets in Barcelona, and where two of Antoni Gaudí’s most important works are located: La Pedrera & La Casa Batlló.
4.
Check in back again at our office in Estació del Nord before the starting time of the afternoon activity. Meet your guide and come aboard an air-conditioned coach to Montserrat. After a 1h drive on the highway, board the cogwheel train up the mountain and enjoy the amazing views. Admire the Mountain’s peculiar morphology, which comes from the Catalan words Mont (mountain) and Serrat (serrated). World-famous for its rocky geography, Montserrat beautiful scenery was declared National Park in 1987 to protect its natural and cultural wealth. Learn about the history and architectural style of the Monastery. Fall in love with the Gothic and Renaissance details of the basilica and sanctuary. Learn about the legend of the miraculous apparition of the Madonna and Child in the cave of Santa Cova. To this day, their woodcarving is kept in the Church of the monastery, which you will be able to visit. The figure is popularly known as La Moreneta (Black Madonna) as a result of a varnish reaction.

Two tours, two fantastic and enjoyable guides. The trip to MontJuic was fabulous, Sara was so pleasant and knowledgeable while we walked and toured around Barcelona.

The trip to MontSerrat with Sandra was fantastic. Sandra was amazing with the travel details and all the people with special needs. She was fun to be with as well as very knowledgeable. Highly recommend this destination

More time at Montserrat to be given to visitors. Map handout of the place would be useful. A shrine to visit before Sagrada Familia

I scheduled this trip after being here for a week. I regret not doing it sooner. Hugo did an amazing job telling us the history of every street we walked down, making sure to tell us where it was in relation to the Romans, and medieval times. I had no clue I was steps away from so much for so long, and I'm kicking myself for not doing it sooner. The highlight tour was 5 hours and ended at 1, exactly like he said. We didn't have to rush to get to our Montserrat tour at 2, which was very nice.
Our Montserrat tour guide, Sasha, was excellent. He kept us entertained, informed, and making sure we understood the significance of the monastery as a whole. This package, especially the monastery, was the absolute best part of my trip. And everyone I talk to is going to hear about my awesome guides and the amazing sights.

The local guides were very good. We did a SpaIn tour that started in Barcelona. Julia Travel is a joke. Airport p.u. in Barcelona was fine. Had a good hotel picked by J travel. Barcelona tour was 8 am the next morning. We had to go to the office to meet the bus. No one knew where it was. Finally found a cab driver that knew. So paid cab fare. Breakfast at hotel included. Couldn't get it because breakfast started at 730. Tour across town at 8. Before tour started confirmed with office that we had a 9 am pick up for Sun. We had Julia provided train tkts for 1 pm to Madrid. Went on a 5 hour tour. Back at Julia office the employee told me she still wasn't sure the person scheduling never called her back
That was the first 24 hours. Every day was something else

Great tour! Our tour guide was amazing! I highly recommend it. The views are stunning. I love that we had a two hour break in between the highlight tour and Montserrat to go grab lunch. The day was perfect. No complaints at all.

Going up to Monserrat and the beauty of the rock formations. We also enjoyed Mount Juic although there was a lot of walking and very hilly.

I would definitely recommend taking the tour of Monserrat. These mountains are amazingly different from any I’ve ever seen. Once at the top, of course the views are amazing.
