Night view is amazing. Just little bit upset because I need 30 minutes to get official ticket through this platform. If you want to use this platform, just order the day before you depart. It will be more convenient.

40 minutes was perfect for seeing all of the sights around the quays and marina. The staff were super helpful and took excellent photos with special effects for us. Would certainly recommend this trip. Great value for money
