4.00Everything was great except a lot of the commentary seemed out of sync with what we were looking at which was confusing. That needs tightening up as does the quality of the audio commentary.

5.00We enjoyed a lovely cruise, staff were very friendly and kind. I booked over the phone and the man was really helpful. We were served fresh scones cream and jam, with options of hot drinks. There was other food and beverages for sale on the cruise. Felt safe at all times. The atmosphere was great they had information about different buildings/ locations along the way. I highly recommend this cruise. Would love to do the sunset cruise at another time. Great cruise for all to enjoy. I feel the prices are really good for what you get. Overall I was really happy and enjoyed the cruise.
