“Good value for money. Commentary was in Spanish and English. We went on the 6pm trip so we saw the views in daylight and at night time when all the Christmas lights came on. Very peaceful trip and lots of opportunity to move around and take photos. Only about 15 people on board so you pretty much had an area to yourself. Boarding started 10 minutes before the trip started. The staff came around to take drink orders as soon as we set off. Drinks are not included in the price.”

The food and the drinks were amazing as well, even though the route was changed due to a kayak competition, we didn’t mind it at all. Only downside is you need better directions to find the boat, we spent over 45 minutes going up and down the port! After we finally found it everything was amazing!”

“The cruise was lovely, nice to see the sights from the water, it gives a very different perspective to the city. Unfortunately we were not able to hear the commentary partly due to the quality and positing of the speakers, unfortunately these were drowned out by the loud and inconsiderate people behind us. Perhaps a phone based audio guide would be a good idea (along side the existing guide for those who don’t have smart phones.”

“Our activity was supposed to be a 3.5 hour guided tour starting at 11:30am, however, due to a problem with the provider not issuing tickets for the group or they were used by another group, our activity did not start until 1:45pm with a change. We started at the Alcazar Castle, instead of the Seville Cathedral. We received a 45 minute guided tour of the castle, and we were given a ticket to enter the cathedral on our own at 3pm. This caused us great inconvenience because we had another tour booked, so we couldn’t spend as much time at the cathedral and we missed going up the tower. We…”
