The trip itself was terrific, but most importantly, I must mention the Circle Line staff. As we arrived, the outside staff assisted me with getting tickets and made sure I boarded safely. (I am disabled.) Throughout the beautiful scenic voyage, one staff member named "H" checked on me at regular intervals, asking if I needed anything. The tour guide was informative and amusing. The band was delightfully jazzy and charmingly off-key. They reminded me of The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band. What a wonderful experience and great value for the money.
Very nice boat ride. Little warm inside the cabin but still a great day overall. Band was great staff was elite. I'll be doing this once a year for sure. 8 Hour will be next
