    The privacy, as there weren't many people on the boat so we could all enjoy in peace. Also liked the pub like place we were waiting in and got our drinks. Cozy and nautical themed.

    Very nice and above all atmospheric round trip. Early December with decorated tables, fairy lights everywhere and a Christmas playlist. Admittedly, the tour was interrupted somewhat chaotically by a few sightseeing explanations in different languages, fortunately not so often, and fortunately we had already explored the city beforehand, so we definitely preferred the Christmas playlist. :-) All this with a warm drink from the little bar, perfect.
