It’s a long day and the boat ride just wasn’t needed really. There was a fair amount of padding to make it a full day tour
Frighteningly invigorating and stunning

The gondola was exciting. Walking/climbing to the weather station was a must-do. The view was beautiful. Boat cruise was nice. Captain was humorous. The Viator website for this Brewster tour said food was not included, but we had a pleasant, filling buffet. Unfortunately we took sandwiches which ultimately needed to be discarded. Might want to correct this information. Our bus driver, Michael, was a good driver, was very friendly and attentive, and his narration was excellent. Fun to share time with. Taylor was a fun person; helpful and friendly. She's good at her job too. Overall, I and my two adult daughters enjoyed this tour very much.
