    The narration was informative, although sometimes difficult to hear because of the noise, we enjoyed the ride, the one hour length was just right, the weather was gorgeous, and the ride was smooth. Would recommend. I thought the price per person was fair.

    Couldn't hear any of the tour. The speakers were too quiet and the many other guests were too loud. I wish there was a phone and headphone option. Cool to go under the golden gate bridge
