They canceled sailing cruise with NO notice, even though I received a text of departure. We showed up at the dock office to be told of cancellation. Now, having difficulty to get our refund because "City Sailing" is a 3rd party and Viator wants verification. Endless circle with no accountability. Frustrating!!

Nice, lowkey ride. Strong drinks. Our boat broke down, so we had to combine with another boat and it was a bit crowded.
Great clean and welcoming. There was only ten of us and it was great at 11 AM and would totally do that hour again and again!
Really good value. I needed a little bit more details to find the spot but might be just a me problem
The cruise is advertised as 1.5 hours, but only lasted 1 hour. No explanation provided by the company or by Viator.
We had an excellent time on the perfect day and met some amazing people and the crew were fantastic! The views from the water were so beautiful!
When I signed up it said sail and wine experience but then the ticket said sail and drink. It was very confusing. Anyway, I got a beer/water and my daughter got a stale coke and had to pay $5 for her wine. They could have at least played better music. Bottom line is the experience wasn’t the fun and cool experience as I would have hoped for.
Short sail along the Barcelona sea front. Clean and well maintained seaworthy yacht which had lots of sitting areas. Easy to find some shade or a seat to soak up the sun. Clear and easy to follow pick up point information. Very good value for money overall. Would do it again on another holiday to the area.
Really nice way to spend an hour and a quarter. Lovely boat, good music, friendly crew, great photo opportunities for the Barcelona coast line, and plenty of free beer. All for less than £15 per person. What great value!
It’s a great process to have a boat ride to see Barcelona form the water. Plus the drinks Firenslybstaff
it was a great experience, drinks were not easily accessible although i had an unlimited voucher. We were upstairs and it was hard to move downstairs to get any drinks. So we had no drinks
Beautiful views and a very friendly crew made this experience extremely worthwhile. We ended up buying a bottle of kava on the boat, which was very affordable and made the experience feel premium. We were also three of about ten people on the boat total, so it felt like a high-end, private experience.
The 18.15 tout in August was extremely hot...no.aircondition inside...the boat was beautiful but we didn't see anything...Just.went outside the port and get back after 1.5h ...no explanations from the microphones and basically just getting inside ..not in parallel with the coast ...
Such a relaxing and fun experience for the price! Staff were super friendly and the open bar was a plus!
Such good value for money ! €20 for a 75 min cruise around the harbour and down the cost. Free drinks included ! Def worth the money and we only had 10 people on the boat so loads of room
Experience is exactly what it says - a short trip out to see Barcelona from the sea! Probably the nicest boat to go out on. Music created an atmosphere and there was plenty of room. Good beers in the free bar all perfectly chilled! Crew were very friendly and helpful. It was so good we did it twice! 10/10 would recommend, and would do a third trip!
Easy to find, nice trip around the marina, great hosts, would recommend
Badly organized, also changed last minute from aperol boat experience to only “local tapa” experience. When we booked it said aperol included and the day before we noticed they changed the name but not on the URL. It’s obvious they just decided to remove it. The boat itself is nice, but the experience is not worth the money. You spend 1.5h at sea, with very low music, the atmosphere is very average, the staff wasn’t friendly and overall the experience is not worth it. Wouldn’t recommend.
This was a really nice trip. A nice, peaceful break from the busier sidewalks and the heat. Beautiful views, smooth sailing, pleasant company.
This was beyond a 10 star review!! Loved the sail. Beautiful afternoon, breeze was awesome!! Loved loved this!! Thanks so much for making my Barcelona experience AWESOME!! And if you have motion sickness, bring wrist bands (for motion sickness) and you are good to go!! 🤗🤗
It was mostly what I expected! Lovely spacious sailboat with lots of space to move around! Provided us with warm small sandwich right away but never was offered our free beverage with it! We sat on top and it was beautiful! Recommend If you are looking for a nice relaxing quiet sailing this is perfect for that! Nice view of Barcelona coastline!
The boat canceled the tour at the last minute due to underbooked quantity, the tour company offered a replacement tour. The replacement tour was underwhelming and bland.
Easy to reserve online. Just present your online reservation QR code at the ticket box and get your paper ticket. Smooth boat ride with a professional crew and amazing views.
We canceled 24 hours in advance and still no response. Viator ask for review but doesn’t answer their phone to give me back my money.
I expected to cruise the harbour area but we just headed out to sea and hit some fairly rough weather resulting in both my husband and I feeling extremely ill.
The boat ride was incredible! It was just what we needed after a long travel day. We got our Aperol spritz which hit the spot, but we never got our tapas. We asked but the guy on the boat didn’t seem to have any idea what we were talking about. However, in the description, it says that we should get a drink, which we got and tapas, which we didn’t get. So, nice boat ride, but we didn’t get everything we paid for. So disappointing for that part.
This was an excellent short cruise from Barcelona, the boat was comfortable and well equipped and staff were very friendly.
The boat had music/radio playing but no one was playing live. The route was beautiful but no one explained what we were looking at or anything. Everyone got one cup of aperol spritz and that was it. No one came around to offer another round for free or for sale- i guess there was a bar downstairs but we were too nervous to climb down the stairs while the boat was moving. Pretty much just sat down in the same spot for 90 minutes and then got off. Boat was clean and left on time and returned on time!
Booking through Viator there was non option to download the tickets. Tried from the email and the app and nothing worked. We got there early to try and resolve the issue and the first person who tried to help us held on to my phone for 15 minutes and couldn’t understand why the tickets weren’t downloading before just passing us along to someone who was not willing to help just kept saying “no” without even knowing what the issue was, asking us for our booking and confirmation number. It wasnt until we got upset considering that we bought the tickets a month ago and had confirmation on the app and email that finally they said “maybe we can check another way” finally acknowledged our last name and booking number and instantly was able to find us in the system and print our tickets. We were finally able to get on and were the last ones to board causing there to be no good seats left for us.
Nacho is the best. So nice. We loved this cruise. The whole crew was very sweet and the boat was much nicer than expected. Highly recommend
Fantastic experience for anyone, solo or with others! Beautiful trip down the sea side of Barcelona, listening to great with lovely libations.
A short and nice trip around the coast of Barcelona.it was a Saturday and hence packed with people.There should be another selection of drinks apart from the Aperol e.g Lemon water.
It is wonderful to sail the Mediterranean Sea! Do it! Amazing to see Barcelona for the sea. However, this sailboat is pretty but the journey is by engine, not by sailing. The staff did not interact and no tourist information was provided about any of the landmarks or history. Visitor sold us this trip including’a drink and tapa’. However when we checked in they told us there was a ‘booking mistake’, and no free drink or tapa would be provided. Beware! Still glad we took the trip! A nice break from all the walking through Barcelona.
Relaxing and spacious, with a great view of the Barcelona skyline! Snacks, drinks and toilet available:)
When I checked in for my boat ride, I was told that there was never a boat and I shouldn’t have been able to book the trip. However, I still received confirmation from Viator that the trip was still on. This should have been confirmed through the actual boat company. Do not recommend this at all
We had an amazing time🥰 the crew was friendly and relaxed, specially around my kids.♥️ Plus the ship feels brand new and nice to enjoy. We loved it!
Beautiful view of the skyline from the Mediterranean! Shopping mall nearby when added in makes for a great half day excursion.
The day we went was very choppy which made for some good laughs when the waves splashed up on the deck spraying everyone with water. The views of the city were spectacular. The catamaran was well maintained and staff were very nice and friendly.
That was amazing when we seen the shark 🦈.we had a good time, chilling out, I would like to spend more time in Barcelona but unfortunately wd has to go back..
A nice way to get out on the water and to have a look back at Barcelona. We had great weather so we could sit on the top deck. The background music was enjoyable, but we would have liked a little commentary to help us identify landmarks on shore. Staff flew the jib but not the main sail.
There was no memorable experience as you cancelled my trip on the catamaran after accepting my booking ! I've asked for a refund and never heard a thing back ! And u have the cheek to if I enjoyed it !!!!!! Your company is a shambles
We tried to cancel because of stormy weather. Have not received any communications Lack of communication options.
Maybe because it was out of season but I would not recommend this trip. Staff were largely uninterested, there was zero information to tell you what any of the sights were along the route. The onboard bar limited to soft drinks, a frozen cocktail and some Pringles. The positive is that the 90 minute trip actually only lasted 75 minutes.
Exciting experience. Very friendly people and great service. I Will recommend this to anyone. 5 star experience
The experience and ride was amazing. The staff was nice and friendly. The boat was fun to sit on the lil deck part. You may get a splash of the sea of you in the front lol. It was fun to be on and would recommend.
On the day of our experience there was torrential rain throughout the period leading up to the trip and during the time the trip was taking place. We asked to reschedule our trip but received a generic reply that there would be no cancellations. Decided to give it a miss as sitting on a boat in a storm did not appeal. Better to book on the day when you know the weather will be OK because it appears that nothing, even biblical floods, will stop that boat going out to sea!
This is a basic boat trip - not worth 34 euros. You go out to sea and nothing much more. The music was basic too. Basically basic
Relaxing ride at 3:15 The weather was perfect. We enjoyed the ride and thought maybe we should of done sailboat. For the money if you like boats perfect way to end the day on the water
Awesome boat ride not very many snacks but who cares there’s drinks on a hot day and the women at the bar helped my 9 year old sister stop crying from her fear of oceans by providing her with a bar of chocolate that was not even on the menu and she was just really nice and the views were amazing and it felt so good perfect place for families and friends must do jn Barcelona Thank you so much for the experience
Great views, relaxing, good sangria, nice afternoon on water during hottest time of day. Fully recommend it!
