The Boat Tour was incredible, even tough it was a rainy day. The views were amazing and the Boat crew very friendly and helpful. Would definitely repeat this Tour again !

Nice relaxing boat trip. Weather was warm but over cast which helped as you are sat outside on the top deck. Full sun and heat maybe too much for some people . Beautiful scenery and the guide explained buildings as we approached them. Would recommend for teens and above due to length of tour and places of interest being spread out.
