Cruise Mallorca’s south coast by catamaran with two swim stops, a barbecue lunch, drinks, snorkeling, music, and sunset views.
“Great boat day trip ! Great vibes during the day with ailing, the 2 stops to jump into the water as well as nice bbq buffet.”
Review of Barcelona’s Montserrat cogwheel train, monastery visit, castle winery, organic wine tasting, tapas, lunch, value, and tips.
“We had an exceptional experience on this all day excursion with Toni our tour guide. He is very knowledgeable and talks with a passion rarely seen by a tour guide. He was especially impressive discussing the different wines during the winery lunch and tastings. If your planning an all day tour to Monsurat, you definitely need to request Toni as your guide.”
Review of Toledo from Madrid: compare half-day and full-day options, cathedral visits, tapas lunch, bilingual guiding, timing, and value.
“This is an extensive tour, covered a lot, which included a wonderful tapas lunch in an archeological museum. The tour had 30 guests, 7 of whom spoke English. The guide did an excellent job going back and forth with duel explanations. The walking is intense. That should have been clarified. It was an extremely hot day, water should have been provided. There was no help from the driver in getting off the coach; this might not be the best tour four senior adults. Getting back to our hotel was a nightmare due to a bike race and protests. Very little help was given.”
Review of Barcelona’s Montserrat and winery day trip, with mountain views, Black Madonna options, Catalan food, wine, timing, and value.
“The free time can be tricky if you’re seeing the Black Madonna and want to make it to the St Michael’s cross. Laia was extremely knowledgeable and a great guide!”
Review of Barcelona’s Montserrat and winery tour, with cogwheel train, monastery visit, free time, tapas or Catalan lunch, and wine tasting.
“We were lucky to travel with Vince! Everything was perfect. Vince is a great guide🥰”
Kayak, snorkel, explore caves, and make safe cliff jumps on an active Costa Brava day trip from Barcelona with lunch and transport.
“We had a great time kayaking, snorkeling and cliff jumping in Costa Brava! Our guide, Matt, was fantastic and brought a ton of fun to the trip. He showed up us the best spots to snorkel, jump and even brought us to a cave in the side of the cliffs. It was a fun-filled amazing trip and I would 100% go back!”
Review of Barcelona’s Montserrat small-group tour, with monastery views, free time, Catalan farmhouse lunch, wine, tips, and value advice.

Review of Seville’s Guadalquivir boat tour, with tapas, drinks, sunset views, and an optional five-course Andalusian meal.

“The boat trip was very nice. We stopped at two beautiful calas/beaches to have a swim and ate paella with sangría on board. Nice staff and enjoyable day!”
Cruise Tenerife’s west coast from Adeje, spot whales and dolphins, swim in clear Atlantic water, and enjoy lunch and drinks for $59.
“A taxi will take you straight to the correct gangplank and although the boat can take 200 people it's pretty spacious. staff are plentiful and polite. free drinks machines for soda, water, beer and even sangria. You don't go far but we still saw pilot whales and dolphins. Many hotels etc charge higher prices and my daughter loved this”
Review of Fuerteventura’s 4-hour glass-bottom cruise with dolphins, swimming, kayaking, paella, drinks, and hotel pickup.
“The lovely skipper “César”? of “Odyssey-3” was a charming and capable host. His hardworking crew were equally focussed on us all getting the most from our day aboard that lovely Catamaran. Crew member “Katey” was the lovliest lady and we really enjoyed our chat about the town and her life around boats.”
Visit Montserrat Abbey from Barcelona, enjoy mountain views, and share a three-course farmhouse lunch with wine in a small group.
“Our guide was fabulous. The lunch was abundant and delicious. I truly enjoyed the whole trip. I only wished I could go up to see the Black Madonna.”
Review of Barcelona’s Montserrat tour with monastery views, cogwheel train, farmhouse lunch, wine tasting, and practical booking tips.
“This was a great day. The first half was at the monastery in the mountains, and the experience and the views were amazing. The second half was at a family winery where the tour was very interesting and the wine and food were great. Our tour guide Xavier made a very positive impact on everything. He was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor.”
Review of Barcelona’s Montserrat and winery tour, with monastery views, Cava tasting, farmhouse lunch, costs, timing, and practical tips.
“Overall the tour seemed very rushed. Although Monserrat was extremely beautiful, we feel we did not get enough time to fully enjoy our time there. Once we took the funicular up to the top we only had a very short time to walk around. Not even enough time to go to St. Michael's cross. We, along with the others on our tour, also purchased tickets to see the Black Madonna and again, doing this made our lunch rushed. Food was average at best. Farmhouse lunch felt like a roadside restaurant. Winery was last. We didn't have time to tour the winery and cellar. We made it in time to only…”
Sail Menorca’s south coast, swim at Turqueta and Son Saura, see Macarella, and enjoy paella, sangria, and island views for $65.
“What a fantastic trip from start to finish! Fabulous views of the coast with great audio knowledge in various languages. Plenty of time for swimming or sunbathing at the two beaches we stopped at. The paella was lovely and the crew very friendly. Would definitely recommend this trip for a lovely day out.”
Pick the kind of day first, then the place.
