The cruise is great value for money. We travelled at sunset and it was great to see the landmarks lit up in the evening sky. An hour was ample to see all the sights on the river. The boat was busy but everyone was in a good mood and enjoying the cruise. My tip to anyone who books this activity is to decide the time you think you would like to cruise down the river and turn up to the tour meeting point a little earlier so you can get to the front of the queue for the best seats (especially if you are 3 or more people as the top deck fills up quickly and everyone sits spaced out when they first board) Overall a great value for money activity
