It was completely different and quite interesting to see the city from the river in a boat! I think I got more from this view rather than all walking I did all other days!

while it was enjoyable the guide WASN'T in English as advertised. That made it so I couldn't understand any of the commentary for historical content but it didn't take away from the beautiful scenery.
