					  Was hoping to have something positive to say but unfortunately interacting with this company was negative.  Poor communication, excuses and unorganised. Ended up costing a lot more than I... read more expected.  Unreliable booking.  Promises made but not Kept.  Basic communication missing.  Website limited in functionality.  Late replies that needed chasing making planning impossible.  Reactive not proactive.  No commitment to the customer.  Immaturity of some staff.  Like dealing with a child.

					  Was lovely few hours out on the sailing boat, was just the two of us plus the two crew.  I havent been on a sailing boat before, so was... read more a fun experience, especially when the boat is tilting to the side.  The crew were lovely and friendly, very professional too.  Something different to do in Barcelona, away from all the crowds and the heat of the sun.
