While being on the boat was lovely, I spent 80 euro's for two people and booked ahead of time as was recommended when you could've gotten on the same boat for about 20 euro's per person; a massive difference in funds for the EXACT same experience. It was only an hour long to sit on a covered boat (not even the pretty ones with flowers) where they gave you local information about the city about three times. The ONLY difference between the others and us for that price was that we got 'crackers', and 1 single other 'drink' option.
