Lovely views but a disappointing experience

Does what is says but this is no frills. Kiosk on board to sell you other food and drinks. The commentary loops through at least five languages one after the other so you're not hearing it as you're passing the places. And then its just replaced with music. The English version was also very heavily accented and hard to understand. Lovely views but thats it. The rest was disappointing. Billed as a 3 hour tour but the hotel pick up took nearly an hour. Boat trip is 7-9pm.
