5.00I was skeptical because it doesn't stop at the islands, but it was a great choice. The ferry arrives close to all attractions and with a friendly English guide they explain all the information about the attraction both historical and current. Stop at a perfect distance to everything, and in a couple of hours you visit everything. Recommended!!

2.00They pushed for a VIP experience that cost $39 each so we purchase 2 which equal $80 on top of the original price of the boat ride and they said the photographer will give you two pictures and he’ll will take more and email us those pictures.. we tipped on that extra VIP experience and we also tipped coming off the boat. We were told the tips were all shared, but I’m wondering we didn’t do a third tip to the photographer. so that’s not right that he did not send us by email the extra pictures So NOT satisfied with the VIP experience because of the photographer.. he took my email address so there should not have been any issue to send the pictures. My trip was on starship 10 o’clock in the morning on Thursday, May 7.. my email is CABS [email protected]
