The captain was fun and played great music. I could relax and get facts here and there but I could just eat and drink and just look out the window as well. Only wish that it was a bit longer because I was enjoying the time.

Everything was good. The only thing I didn’t like was that the boat was so overcrowded and there was no option to choose your own seat, which meant you might have to sit in the middle aisle without a proper view outside.

The boat was really quiet and smooth. It didn't even feel like you were moving at all. The skipper and the guide were amazing as well. Learned a lot of things in an hour

The cheese was delicious with a good sized portion. Refills of wine and beer and soft drinks were frequently offered. The commentary was also fun and interesting. Our host was very welcoming and friendly and worked hard, thank you.
