The cruise was easy, quick, comfortable, and informative. The meeting point was easy to find and tickets were easy to use. No need to print, can just scan using app. Great way to see historical monuments and obtain historical information in one go!

A fantastic trip. we'll worth the money. we went for the Premier package which proved to be well worth the little extra. lots of food, lots of wine, and great views from our perfectly placed table at the front of the boat.
