Took the Coastal and Harbour tour. Not an awful lot to see but it's a nice relaxing way to enjoy the city from a different vantage. Nice way to spend 90 mins. More

We took the 35 minute harbor tour because the 90 minute tour wasn't happening due to poor weather. The briefness was the best part. Due to the rain the windows were steamed up and you couldn't see out. Since there is no commentary included you end up sitting in a crowded boat with nothing to do or see except watch... More

There must be seawater in my family’s blood because as soon as we saw a boat-trip we were aboard almost instantly awaiting its departure. There are two choices of trip: 35mins just around the port or 90mins around the port and then out along the coast towards the Olympic sailing site. Although the trips are less frequent (check the departure... More

We took the one and half hour trip along the coast and back one morning and had a lovely relaxing time viewing the Barcelona coastline from the sea. The boat is nothing fancy with the usual bar below deck for refreshments but if you enjoy being at sea and sitting back in the sunshine to enjoy the view then it... More

We take advantage of Barcelona Card, to make the ride on Golondrinas, however was a total disappointment, since the main point of the tour was the part where the big boats unload their containers into the commmercial port. Worse than that, on board, was an accordion player who not only was silent a minute, taking advantage to almost "extort" a... More

This is definitely the most boring harbor cruise that I have ever been on - no guiding speak whatsoever, which could be fair enough if there was enough to see while on-board. But there is not - Barcelona's harbor is actually, contrary to the rest of the city, incredibly boring. I guess they decided to get a "local" guitar player... More

We went on the 1 1/2 trip and it is a silent boat ride, there is no commentary and there is nothing much to look at. As I write this it is 199 on the list of things to do so yes if you have done 198 other things do this More

Having read the reviews before me, I envy the people who took the shorter trip. Imagine that trip but MUCH longer. I kept falling asleep. This trip needs to be brought alive and (although im not sure if they can do this) I would actually suggest that they offer some kind of beach trip for the price and that Las... More

We took the 35 minute ride on one of the classic touring boats. There is also a 90 minute cruise available. We bought a ticket that included admission into the Museu Maritan for a total of 9.60 euro. If you like to look at cruise ships and oil riggers this is the trip for you! If not and you're expecting... More
