Very relaxing and a fun time. Great variety of adult and kids beverages. We enjoyed it a lot. A fun hour of scenery and family time.
A fantastic boat ride down the river. Table service for drinks and snacks. It was quiet and peaceful with not many on the boat therefore very relaxing. We got to see all the sights from different perspective.
Super convenient location right next to our Cruise Ship. Relaxing way to end a busy day exploring the city. Staff id very efficient to get everyone served in a timely manner. Lovely scenery, just wish the weather would have been nicer to sit outside and enjoy the views
