Very nice relaxing cruise on the river. Good drinks and staff very friendly. Could not hear sound for narrating trip. Needs to go through an app so you can use headphones.

It’s ok if you’re looking to burn 2hrs. The trip was not what I expected. We saw some nice boathouses and that’s pretty much it. Very immature drinks, not sure any alcohol was present. Hey there early unless you’ll be sitting in the sun the entire trip (shade couches/ grabbed up right at boarding)
