The tour was extremely...

5.00The tour was extremely well organized. We went up river as a group in double kayaks under about five or six bridges. Along the way we had commentary about the city and historical sites. I left my iPhone in my PFE and the guys were fantastic at coordinating with me to enable me to pick it up. A first class act.
Well worth it :)
