Great to see the city from the river, also loved that we went a route further along the river. The guide was lovely and good fun. Well worth doing. The area that you get the boat from is also worth spalding some time around. The sea sculptors are interesting and the art gallery is great. Grab a drink, sit by the water and walk back via the river. A great day out.
