    Great guide, very knowledgeable. Also small groups (40pl) compared to the much bigger boats. Would differently recommend this outfit.

    I did the 5pm tour and it was great to see the city both during daylight and later with all the buildings lit up. Diane, the tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and the whole crew really nice. I enjoyed the small boat and can only recommend this tour

    Great communication with the organizer. The boat stuff was beyond professional, and friendly. The guide talked for the entire time 90 minutes without taking a brea as advertised. Complimentary soft drinks were provided as well.
