    I found it very nice that there was no tape but a nice young man told us a lot of things, it was much more personal.

    The speakers on board were very quiet. Could possibly be more. So that there is one on every 2nd or 3rd row. Sometimes you couldn't understand anything. Because other passengers were also talking "too loudly" for the few loudspeakers. Boat trip was good in good weather. The description for the meeting point was for the 2.5h tour. Until we happened to see the docking point for the 1 hour tour on the other busy road. Otherwise it was good.

    Very friendly staff onboard. The fact you can buy drinks and some food. There were headphones to listen to the tour in a variety of languages. It was very relaxing and informative at the same time.
