Mr T was really fun- great tour
My friend had taken one of these boat rides and didn’t like it, so I wasn’t expecting much.
I was pleasantly surprised and entertained by Mr T!
2 suggestions: I wanted to leave him a tip, but don’t usually exchange currency, so having an electronic way to tip would be great.
I would also suggest better directions to find the boat. There are so many. I went to the wrong place 3 times before finding the boat.
Thank you!

Sunset or after dark, both great boat trips
Birthday celebrations with family after sunset. Got to see a side of the city you don’t see on foot. Really pretty it’s all the lights from the bridges and the streets, bars and houses. Knowledgeable staff and super friendly. Lovely little boat, cost and welcoming.
