It was nice to see the lights at night but we went on a different cruise the next day and it was much better.

4.00Overall, it has been a pleasant experience. We had a nice view with the little presentation on monitors about the places we had been seeing. I recommend coming a bit early to get the good places. We arrived just on time, so many good places had been taken. Also, it would probably be better to take this cruise during the summer time. We took it in late November and rainy-snowy weather caused some difficulties.
Beautiful way to see the city

5.00Absolutely recommend this as a great way to see the city at night, as it makes it look even more stunning when viewed from the river. Friendly staff and option to sit downstairs in the warmth or for those who are braver, on the open air top deck.

5.00The boat ride was beautiful and just enough time for us. We did 1 hour The people on the boat were really nice too. Good bang for your buck. Some of us that drink were able to purchase a drink at the bar on the boat. We took the purple line. The boat wasn’t trimmed in purple like others but it was easy to find.
It's worth doing...
