    the tour was okay, the guide did a nice job and the drinks were good. However, the snacks were substandard; they were nuts and as far as I know, nuts are not snacks. Snacks suggests something hot. In retrospect, the price to quality ratio was not right

    The skipper and tour guide were great, but the claim of unlimited drinks and snacks is not accurate; we did not see any snacks. It was not a cozy saloon boat; it was far too crowded, crammed with about 50 people. The view outside was also very poor. All in all, disappointing.

    All the information was nicely conveyed and correct (very important). And everyone on board were very friendly and attentive. 10/10, would do again. The light show was also wonderful, especially in the evening.
