Traveler reviews
Sunset cruise awesome views
This was a great experience. Jack was a great skipper. Initially it wasn’t clear where we were to get the boat because the vendor wasn’t listed on Viator. We did manage to easily find it. This was a nice ride because we could see the sunset and some of the bridges lit up. Highly recommended tour!
Captain needs to use his mic
Lovely boat ride; however, we sat in back of boat and couldn’t hear what the captain was saying- as he was in middle of boat. Wished he had used his microphone as I saw other boat captains doing, and I saw that he had one readily available.
Canal Cruise
We had a great time. A beautiful evening it is amazing that the canals are connected. We loved the history and the architecture of the buildings.
Overall, okay.
Overall enjoyable, however, guide did NOT speak loud enough even after a few people on the boat asked-perhaps a mic? Also seemed like he was only able to follow his script and if asked a question, did not answer. This occurred more than once.
Pretty evening boat ride
Wife and I decided to try an hour evening canal ride. We enjoyed it very much and the guide was excellent and fun.
