We were late for our time slot as the plane was delayed two hours, however they were really helpful and simply put us on the next boat. It's a basic boat journey and the commentary was poor and almost indistinguishable, however it was relatively cheap and the sights themselves were enjoyable. Drinks on board (payable) were a bouns.

Lovley boat trip with nice views. Staff friendly and considerate. Hot drinks available on the boat. The information on the tannoy about the landmarks couldn't be heard due to a table of very loud tour guides. The driver tried to tell them numerous times to be quiet which was appreciated. Good value for money!

Was really simple and lovely. Boat was clean and tidy and spacious with a top floor or you can stay on the ground floor in the warmth. Top floor is better for nicer photo opportunities and feeling the wind about you. Overhead audio spoken in many languages to tell you about sights we pass.

The app is very handy as we just showed our booking and got straight on.. Easy to find and very straight forward. Great seating with or without shade. As stated our ticket was foe coffee and cake but we could have a beer or soft drink option too. However the staff were not aware of this and tried to say no just coffee not beer. They were happy to accept my mobile booking which clearly stated the options and we were given beer and cake without a problem. Be also aware that you can't see anymore from the boat than you can on foot despite the advertising but I'd still recommend it for a chill for weary feet!!
