Had a really lovely hour on the boat. It’s a short trip but worth it. The staff are not the most pleasant , but they are on a tight schedule getting people on and off on time. I really disliked how people jostled and pushed to get on the boat, I suppose not everyone has manners. I would say just sit and watch the view, far too many people taking photos then head down to edit for Instagram. Missing the view! Also, when we arrived at the pier, the times of the boats trips did not match our tickets so that was a bit concerning. I would recommend overall 😀

Nice, to do. If you take the sightseeing tour with the red double-decker hop on hop off bus, know that the boat is already included. I didn't know and paid for this when I could do without it. It doesn't last long but that's okay. When you go out, beware of taxis that ask for exaggerated and inflated sums to return to the center.

Definitely got to see loads in the evening lit up which makes for a fantastic site, but there is one major improvement that could be made. A tour guide giving you a brief background of what we are seeing would of been brilliant, as its nice looking at buildings but would of been good to have some history or context behind what we were seeing.

It was nice but too crowded so you have to queue in advance to be at the window and appreciate properly.

Nice mini cruise, does everything it promises, welcome drink and great view !! I do not give all the stars because the boarding was a bit chaotic, we had arrived first an hour before and we found ourselves in the middle of the crowd that entered without arrival criteria. In short, people who passed by all over the place without a real queue to enforce
