We thought the one-hour trip was great. The easy-to-understand explanations taught us a lot about the history of the city. Attentive staff, food and drinks at reasonable prices rounded off the experience.

We really wanted to receive information via audio guide during the panoramic tour. However, the sound was so quiet that it was impossible to hear anything. In addition, we were very disturbed by the loud and bad behavior of our fellow passengers, who did not keep a decent distance and stood right next to us, so that we almost felt threatened. And the smokers, you have to be considerate of nicotine addicts everywhere, who smoked all over me and my family from all sides. You just can't enjoy a boat trip like that.

We thought it was great. Great ship. Great view. However, I would have liked the audio guide not via the ship's loudspeaker but or headphones as I didn't understand everything exactly. But I would recommend it to anyone for the price. It was so much fun :)

We loved the views and the relaxed and peaceful pace of the boat. Some of the flags were quite interesting and added a history element to the 60 minutes.
