We could recognise all the places we had visited from the boat. We enjoyed the sunset and the experience of being on a catamaran. The singer was brilliant too. We thought the trip overall was excellent and offered good value for money. The port is in a location to get a late dinner afterwards.”

I got a splinter in my foot and they helped straight away to get it out with a first aid kit on board! Only negative is the cruise is said to include tapas but we only had a tray of potato omelette put out when we were expecting a little more included. But this didn’t ruin our trip or experience. Would recommend and use again!”

Due to the advice provided in advance by the tour company, we "dressed in layers" and were very comfortable with the night temperatures. My advice to them and to someone who takes this tour would be this: 1. Since the "modern" bathrooms are closed at the sunset viewing site, UPON ARRIVAL there, show attendees where the alternative is (since it is a bit of a hike) and send the first woman and the first guy with a roll of…”

“My wife and I have done many European tours over the past couple of years (maybe 20 tours). James, our tour guide for this excursion, was by far the best. He was kind, he was funny, and he was charming. Most importantly, he was intelligent and passionate about the great places to eat in Madrid. It truly was a “gem” of a night for my wife and I. We highly recommend it. If you sign up for this tour, make certain you request James Fraser as your guide. He makes this tour extra special. Thanks for a wonderful evening James. We hope to share a meal with you again!”
