The tour was more for my boyfriend, he also thought the tour was guided and would have much preferred that. We think if we had a guided tour or at least the option to choose and learn more about the stadium/ football history, the tour would be great. We walked around at our own pace but it was too quickly and we didn't learn much. Overall it was a good tour but could be better.

Canal cruise was very good, but it was extremely difficult to find the correct cruise! In fact, boat staff said they had never heard of Headout!

I really appreciated that our tickets were honored the day after we'd booked because of an unexpected rainstorm. Thanks!

This was definitely not an exclusive evening trip. We sat between lots of polystyrene boxes in an unconventional boat. The presenter was good but was actually mainly busy rummaging through the polystyrene boxes. The skipper was okay - including 2 near-accidents. He wore a lifejacket at times - certainly the right thing to do given the driving style.
