Great tour of the architecture and the tour guide was very informative and had a personality that made you feel at ease. Would definitely recommend the tour you won’t regret it and it’s reasonably priced.

Entertaining and informative. Brought our 2.5yr old with us and while she didn't care much she sat still enough and enjoyed looking at the buildings. We brought our stroller with us and had no problems parking it on the boat. Just a side not to get down to the boat LOTs of stairs. 45 mins was the perfect amount of time on the boat. Would recommend!

We loved every minute of our tour. It was raining and a bit cold. But, the staff did everything they could to make us comfortable. They made sure we boarded and un-boarded safely, they dried off seats for us to sit on, and they made sure the bottom level cabin had the heat on so we could go warm up if we got to cold. We went right at sunset and the views were spectacular! Our tour guide was both knowledgeable and witty, which made the tour amazing! We made the right choice by picking this tour.
