We were fortunate to have had very good weather. We had good seats on the lower deck outside. It was what it was, a boat ride along the river, very pleasant, with some commentary related to what we saw along the way. The guides, were friendly. Would I do it again, definitely, yes.

We had out of town family visiting and decided to take this trip down the river, it was very informative, I learned things about Sacramento that I never even knew. Our first mate and narrator Chris was outstanding and very humorous. I highly recommend.
