I got unlimited 7 day iVenture pass during the
Thanksgiving sale. Used it at the end of February 2017. It
offers 30 activities, I tried 17 of them. It does save a lot
of money. But I have several issues with it:
1. Palau Requesens: needs reservation 24 hrs in advance.
But nobody answers phone. No online reservation option. The
hotel helps me to call several times during different days.
Never reach anybody.
2. Colon Viewpoint: They had trouble to scan iVenture
card and don't know how to handle it. But people there are
nice. They called iVenture office to make copy of the card.
I spend more than 30 minutes to wait for their calling.
3. Barcelona Bus Turistic: The card is not taken on bus
Barcelona City tour does take card on bus. Need to go booth
to exchange the ticket. It is confusing because the bus
people told me the card doesn't work but they didn't tell me
the ticket can be exchanged at booth. A lot of
miscommunications. People work in booth were rude and not
familiar how to use this card.
4. La Rambla Viewpoint: they told me the card is not
accepted at the beginning. Finally they accepted it after I
showed them and they discussed about it. No easy to use
there.
5. Palacio del Flamenco: I was the only one using
iVenture card that day. The waiter told me to sit alone in
the side corner small table when everybody sat in middle
good seat. A lot of empty seats in good section. Bad feeling
by using iVenture card for this activity.
No issues with other 12 activities.
Didn't have time to try the other 13, so not sure if it is
smooth to use it.
iVenture card does save a lot of money. But expect issues
and need patience. It is much easier to use BCN card which
has no issue and very popular.
