The captain was really funny and entertaining... but the views and explanations of the places we passed by were also really interesting. I enjoyed the experience.

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.
