4.00For the money it's worth, but we couldn't see much in the winter, the windows were foggy, boat was going a little too fast. I recommend going in the summer.

5.00Dear all, I would like to say that I have had one of the most interesting conversations with bar woman Gabriella. I was on a romantic cruise with my partner until we met her, and we had the most human interaction with the whole bar crew. I loved how open and international but mostly human they were. I hope people can actually take a relaxed approach to the environment around here. Thank you! Kind regards,
Perfect boat clean and...

4.00We would have liked to get closer to the buildings, and have an audio guide in French. Otherwise the heating inside is very nice, and it is really an experience to do!
I expected something different

3.00Poor visibility, many people on the boat and the audio has to be downloaded through an app for the mobile phone. Which is nothing practical and complicated to hear without headphones in the ears.
Correct but without more

3.00Remember to take your umbrella! No shelter And when there is a crazy world it is very long .... To do at night because no interest during the day Since you will have already visited the most important monuments
