    Amazing view, too bad the boat is closed and you can see too much reflection from the TVs on, the videos don't come out very well

    We had no guide... so enjoyed the view but didn't know most of what we saw. It was 1 hour tour which did not circle the island at all. The info talked about 2 hours and cruising around the island... There was a family with a screaming baby.... really romantic. Sorry but was quite disappointing.

    We liked the experience very much, it is very easy to locate the departure pier and the tour was well narrated in our language, we were able to appreciate the city from a different perspective, I highly recommend it.
