brilliant experience as could actually touch the sea
Delighted to hear you and your grandson enjoyed your trip with us!
Tour not well organized. Lack of a specific guide to explain the locations. The trip was characterized by a few too many waves, which made the journey "not very peaceful" - the operator should have checked the route to be taken in advance to provide a better service.
Dear Customer, we value your feedback. If you wish to discuss your experience with our customer care team they would be happy to help you on howthcliffcruises@gmail.com.
Great way to see the coast in an hour with a little history of the light houses. Thank you for a good family experience.
Thanks Bridget - delighted to hear you & the family enjoyed your time onboard with us.
