3.00This experience was just ok. It was a slow ride pointing out a very few aspects of the city. In my opinion, if you walked or took an e-bike or scooter, it would have been better and less expensive for the price paid. I paid for a round trip ticket for my family and opted not to take the return trip back (only to see the exact same thing). If you choose this experience, book a one way trip and save your money or simply opt to walk/bike/take a scooter. I gave it a generous three stars.

3.00The boat had a mechanical issue so we had to disembark, the next boat held less passengers so we had to wait over an hour for the next one. The time on the boat was too short for the price of the ticket. I would not recommend this tour.
