The location to get on the boat is super centralized which was a plus for me. I really don't remember the name of our narrator but he was amazing, super funny, and made the trip even more enjoyable.

Incredible tour! Very informative and would do again. Drinks were available for purchase and were very good. Blankets were available too— and much needed on a cold evening!
