5 stars because there really is nothing to complain about. The boat was exceptionally clean and spacious. It departed from the starting point on time and returned almost exactly 60 minutes later. The audio tour was also very interesting. The length of each segment was well-chosen. The information about the various sights was presented in an engaging way. Our tour guide also made the beginning and the end of the trip fun and was very personable.

A wonderful museum—thanks to the tickets I bought through Headout, entry was very smooth and hassle-free. The museum itself offers a rich variety of art, and I really enjoyed the “queer gaze” exhibition, which allows you to view the works from a different perspective and, in some cases, helps you fully understand them.
