Straight men confident with gay men’s presence!
Frank and Ruxi are truly two of the sweetest people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. Their kindness, warmth, and genuine care for others really stand out. They have a way of making everyone around them feel welcome and appreciated, and it’s something you don’t come across every day. I’m so grateful to know them—they’re simply wonderful people.

No overhead cover and no narrative of landmarks.
The boat is not covered like others It got really hot under the sun for the whole ride. Not a guided tour as I thought it would be. No narrative of landmarks along the Canal at all. They over-packed the boat so it was very tight & uncomfortable. The Grey Line Canal boat would have been a better choice for me.

Amazing Time!
Ruxi & Frank were the perfect tour guides. Informative, friendly and welcoming. If I could give 10 stars, I would.
