Absolute must do. The commentary was awesome, so informative and entertaining. Crew were lovely. Always great to find out fun facts about the city you are visiting.
Wonderful way to spend a couple of hours.
We did the lunch cruise. The food was amazing, and the commentary was fantastic. Peter and Declan clearly love what they do. Thanks for letting my 91 year old Dad drive the boat.
