A great 1 hour tour around the harbour with some interesting historical facts.
It would have been a lot better if we could have heard the guide but not his fault as the amount of kids and people talking over it didn't help.
Maybe you could do an adult only your at a certain time or just remind people to stay quiet so others can hear.
