- Barcelona - Start your journey with a panoramic bus tour showcasing Barcelona’s most renowned landmarks. Delight in the sophisticated Passeig de Gràcia, where two of Gaudí’s modernist masterpieces, La Pedrera and Casa Batlló, are located. Make a strategic stop at the MNAC Viewpoint and Montjuïc Castle while exploring the 1992 Olympic area. Relish the views from the Montjuïc Cable Car.
- Montjuic - Various stops will be made on Montjuic, the site of the 1992 Olympic Area. The first stop includes access to the Montjuic Cable Car, offering stunning views of Barcelona. Pass by Montjuic Castle, where you can journey back in time and uncover part of the city’s history. The final stop on Montjuic is at the MNAC viewpoint, providing a unique perspective of Barcelona.
- Casa Mila - La Pedrera - Before returning to the office, travel through Paseo de Gracia, one of Barcelona’s most significant streets, home to two of Antoni Gaudí’s major works: La Pedrera & La Casa Batlló.
- Abadia de Montserrat - Return to the office at Estació del Nord before the afternoon activity begins. Meet your guide and board an air-conditioned coach to Montserrat.
After a 1-hour drive on the highway, board the cogwheel train up the mountain and enjoy the breathtaking views. Marvel at the mountain’s unique shape, derived from the Catalan words Mont (mountain) and Serrat (serrated). Renowned for its rocky landscape, Montserrat’s stunning scenery was declared a National Park in 1987 to preserve its natural and cultural richness.
Discover the history and architectural style of the Monastery. Appreciate the Gothic and Renaissance elements of the basilica and sanctuary. Learn about the legend of the miraculous appearance of the Madonna and Child in the cave of Santa Cova. Their woodcarving, known as La Moreneta (Black Madonna) due to a varnish reaction, is preserved in the Church of the monastery, which you will have the opportunity to visit.

Montserrat: Amazing Trip - The views were amazing. I took a lot of photos, we enjoyed the picturesque landscape. I would like to thank Sarah, our guide and Jordi, our driver. They were very lovely. I learned a lot from Sarah about the history of Montserrat. We enjoyed the train going up. I love the little present from Sara after the tour. I would highly recommend Julia travels.

Interesting trip - Really enjoyed however the guide had to do the tour in both Spanish and English - this was hard on her and made the tour move slower than it should have therefore we were really rushed

Trip - The destination is great. We had a lot of traffic so there were problems. Then on our return someone just moved our stuff and took our seat. The guide would not get involved so we ended up splitting up. Was very frustrating

Customer service - Hello, I want to share my experience with the customer service of Julia Travel, located in Carrer de Sardenya, Barcelona.
Today I went with my family to consult for the excursion to Montserrat, as a very friendly girl from the Cito Tour Barcelona group recommended us to come to this office to hire her there. Unfortunately, from the first moment we were treated by a girl with glasses with very bad disposition, with no intention of helping or providing adequate care.
His way of responding was impolite and unprofessional, which generates anger and much distress, especially in a position whose main objective is precisely customer service. This is not about not knowing the information — because that can happen — but about the attitude with which people are treated.
Luckily, my family and I have a good temper and try to always keep the cool, but honestly this kind of deal can ruin anyone's day. It is a shame, because this type of attitude makes the whole company look bad and also causes the loss of customers and money.
I fully understand that we can all have a bad day; I work in public service myself. But that’s precisely why I think that when you choose to work with the client, you should know how to handle those situations without venting the bad mood on others.
Hopefully those who supervise can talk to this person and improve the situation. Attention occurred today; she was a young woman located at the first care post, who did not want to identify , located on the left side when entering, facing the offices.
I hope this comment will improve the service. Thank you.

Poor communications - Two reasons for our poor review. One…they included both English and Spanish speaking customers thus everything needed to be said in both English and Spanish. This lead to delays and then being rushed though parts of the tour. Two…the technology used for speaking to us was poor. The mic’s sued to speak to us cut out or varied in volume often.

Not worth it - Buyer beware! They will leave you if you are one minute late and not offer you a refund and charge you double the price to reschedule! Poor communication period! And they are hard to find, don’t answer their phone, and aren’t in the office during the hours of operation posted. Very unprofessional!

Very rude receptionist but great tour & nice tour guides - We were booked for the Girona tour and we didn't know it was cancelled. The ladies as mentioned in several reviews in Get Your Guide are extremely rude. Always saying they don't know ask someone else. A small girl w blonde hair was shouting and being intensely rude. After being rude to me, she started talking badly about me to her colleague in Spanish thinking I didn't understand. When I told her I understood, she said she didnt care.
She even called a security to threaten me. I have read several reviews about these ladies in Get Your Guide and I watched them shouting at several customers. She didn't stop until her colleagues told her to. Never apologized after. However, our tour guides Valeria and her colleague were great. The tour was very organised. We learned a lot from her and enjoyed seeing Montserrat.
