The welcome and the service. The captain was on his last tour before retiring, as I understand it, and he was very humorous.

The service was all good, and the boat trip was nice. The only down point were the roof glasses partially scratched and not very useful as windows making difficult to see the outside.

What the guide was telling in English was completely different from the audioguide, besides, the latter was very poor in content, it was much better what the guide was saying in English. It was confusing to be with the audio guide and the guide at the same time.

If you're sitting on the wrong side of the boat, it's difficult to see the special features and you can't take any photos.

Nous n'avons pas pu vraiment apprécier cette croisière sur le canal dans la mesure où il pleuvait et qu'à l'intérieur du bâteau on ne voyait rien. Une raclette était bien fournie pour enlever la buée mais celle-ci revenait tout de suite et par ailleurs les vitres étaient couvertes de gouttes de pluie. Impossible donc de donner une évaluation sur cette croisière, dommage !
