“TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. THEY CANCELLED, AND HAVE NOT REFUNDED ANY $. DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY!!!

Review of Barcelona’s solar catamaran cruise, with live music, Port Vell views, drinks, timing, value, weather tips, and practical advice.
“The catamaran was in good shape with plenty of seating. A bottle of wine was available for purchase for €20. The musician playing was excellent with everyday easy, listening songs.

It made it difficult to carry on a conversation. I did not, however, ask anybody to turn down the speakers though.”
Enjoy Barcelona jazz, cocktails, tapas, and a complimentary drink in an intimate 20:30 jam session at The Velvet Room.

I believe that the drinks menu was specifically specialized for the event so that was another factor that I really enjoyed. I had a good…”
Hear Vivaldi, Mozart, Bach and more in Barcelona’s Basilica de la Merce, with a one-hour concert, soprano and violin soloist.
“This concert was at a medium sized basilica with great acoustics, but the number of instruments was 6-7. So the sound wasn’t bold, but it was good quality. It was warm with little ventilation, so dress lightly. These were the billboard top ten of classical songs and only an hour in duration, so great for first timers.”
Enjoy a candlelit piano concert by Luis de Arquer in Barcelona’s Gràcia neighborhood, with cava in a 19th-century garden.
