Great to hear the handheld commentary and see the city from the water. The boat was very comfortable and the time went quickly. Tracy Adelaide South Australia

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 That made it so I couldn't understand any of the commentary for historical content but it didn't take away from the beautiful scenery.
