The commentators did a good job. Very pleasant outing. The seating would’ve been more comfortable with cushions.

The captain and first mate were extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. The small vessel was very comfortable and allowed to get close to the mansions and other sites. Definitely a bargain.

This is the second Graffiti tour we did with you and the second was just as good as the first. Guides are so informative.

It is unmarked area and no parking. Easy to access boat. However, it is not the boat pictured. It was not enclosed. It was confusing and all passengers questioned if it was correct boat. Bathroom didn’t work. Tour guides were pleasant. Tour was worth the money to access water. And see some extraordinary homes and yachts. The weather before us was windy and rainy. So they go rain or shine. They should make that clear. You contact the tour provider directly not the app. We lucked out the wind laid down and sun came out. A hot coffee would have better than cold drink.

This boat tour was very interesting. We were able to admire the beautiful homes of rich and famous people. The duration is adequate. The location is central and ideal for boarding. There is no particular indication outside to inform us or advertise this tour. Only go to the waterfront of Sebastian Street and wait for the boat to pick you up. The hosts are very friendly and friendly. On board the excursion you will be entitled to free consumption, and full narration throughout the journey. The narration is in English only. The boat can accommodate approximately 20 people. There is no parking allowed on site. It is easier to get there on foot. After the excursion you can go to the Beach boulevard where you will find restaurants and shops just a few steps away.
