From Europe to Asia in a morning and on the river

Excellent value for money - collected from hotel and taken to the yacht. Maximum 30 people so lots of space to move around. Drinks and snacks provided, all staff super friendly. Guide was very knowledgeable and super interesting. Great to see the city from the river, gives you a different perspective.
