Very relaxing and great commentary only spoilt by the inconsiderate chatter of a group of Asian ladies
Mediocre trip

The trip has little items that are not worthy of viewing, the fare is cheap but a different trip into the city would be more worthwhile

We arrived early to redeem the vouchers for tickets and were offered the chance to take an earlier sailing leaving in less than 20 minutes. Instead, we waited for over 30 minutes to board and were stuck in the hot sun for this whole time. The ride is relaxing. Good luck trying to hear the narration over all the people talking.
Great Short Tour

This was a nice easy going scenic tour. Crew was very friendly, accommodating and informative. Would have liked more outdoor seating though, as it was a very nice day
