When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

It is always tempting to want to rewrite the original in marketing texts to make them sound better!

Denise Dewey-Muno
: I agree with Penny - could depend on the context though. Where is the tour being offered?

: Yes, but this is not a PRO question.

Armorel Young
: possibly "full-length and short" to avoid "long" feeling like "too long" - but depends on actual context; could simply be "mini" and "maxi".

Harbor and Barcelona Tour Boat
Also, there are tour boats that offer 1 1/2 hour harbor cruises that also go outside and cruise off the various beaches in Barcelona. You will find the wharf at the very foot of Las Ramblas Street.

writeaway
: with Helen. In English we'd never take a cruise around a harbour./but to offer harbour cruises sound OTT. you also cruise around in a car......... and long cruises can mean months at sea.....

Enjoy a gentle cruise around Bristol's historic harbour .
As in the case of the car example, a 'cruise' around the harbour conveys a feeling of a relaxing, rather moderately paced tour,

: This is what we call it here. You might also use 'harbor tour' but that might be on land.
