This was a nice way to spend a hour in the sun. There was just the four of us on board and we were allowed to take drinks on board too. An excellent afternoon
Very friendly staff and nice trip. The weather spoilt the first 30 minutes of our trip but that was not the hosts fault in any way. Lovely gentle ride with a different view of the city. Worth doing for a relaxing hour out of the city life.
We had such a great experience!! I would definitely recommend this experience. The boat, our guide and the views we awesome 😊
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 😊 We're delighted to hear that you had such a great experience and that you enjoyed the boat, the beautiful views, and the company of our guide. Your recommendation means a lot to us and motivates our team to continue creating memorable moments on the water.
It was a quite calm and pleasant ride, viewing the city from another perspective. The narration of the audio guide worked very well, with good content and coherent with the places being observed. I deeply appreciate that, being the only participant, the provider conducted the activity. I value this greatly, because other companies providing tourist services would surely have canceled. Best regards.

Very peaceful. Commentary in English was clear and concise. Note: no facilities on board-it is what they say-a gondola.
