The experience of the trip was excellent, but they did not want to recognize the reservation through Viator for a while, but in the end, they acknowledged it.
Muchas gracias por sus comentarios y nos alegra que hayan disfrutado de su crucero. El sistema de Viator no es tan eficiente como debería, pero nos complace que todo se haya resuelto finalmente en línea.
Hello We enjoyed the trip very much but we were unfortunately unable to hear the loudspeaker from the deck of ship
Thank you very much for your feedback, we will do our best to ensure that the tour guide can be heard clearly on the terrace in the future.
I regret giving 3 stars because the cruise itself is beautiful, but I was really disappointed because I booked with an audio guide in Italian and was told once we set off that it was only in English.
Okay!Thank you for your feedback!
We loved the service, the staff was very nice.😊
Vielen Dank!
Was a nice boat ride, great that it had a big seating area under the roof as it was a bit rainy. The downside - not nice that bystanders get first hand rather than the people that booked the ride in advance… we were waiting in a big line and waiting for the time patiently but the “coordinator” cared mostly for the people that were still trying to buy the last second tickets on the spot + squeezed in front of everyone else that had reservations. Would advise to work on that. Otherwise a good time on the boat.
Dear Daniela! Thank you for your feedback! We take more control on the spot on those who buy the ticket on the spot. Anyway it was good to read you kind words abot the cruise and our ship.
A relaxing hour on the water. Just about right.
Thank you very much for your kind feedback!
All of our issues were around the assistant who was to be wearing a captains hat. I don’t know if he was drunk or just really tired but he showed up 10 minutes after we were supposed to be checked in, told us the boat at the dock was a private boat and that ours was coming shortly. Gave us our drink tickets, but that was it which created an issue when we boarded the boat as they asked us for our printed tickets and it took forever for the two of them to make a connection. He also told us he packed up the white desk early, which was one of the things in the description that we were told to look for. Thankfully, we were attentive enough to realize there was no second boat and was the last two to get on board. This was clearly the most difficult meeting, location and details, due to the assistant, that we have ever experienced on a tour. The welcome drink was provided by the bar staff and was very nice. The audio should have described the buildings and which side of the boat we were to see the building, however, the track was very clear. It was played across the large speakers throughout the boat. This would’ve been easily a five star rating had the assistant wearing the captains hat done his job.
Excellent very friendly staff and the trip was amazing. The complimentary drink was delicious, Super recommended.
Mil gracias!!
It is worth it, beautiful views, although nothing in Spanish. Keep in mind if you don't know English. This is beautiful and a good experience
Nos alegra que te haya gustado y lo hayas pasado bien, ¡vuelve pronto!

Thank you very much for your kind words! :)
