Great for all ages

As a family it was perfect. Emily was superb and very safety conscious. The captain let the kids have a turn at steering. Nice clear commentary. A great outing highly recommend. Very relaxing.

Worth doing

Enjoyed this gentle cruise around a portion of the canals. Great views of the GC skyline from a different perspective. The commentary was just right, not the non stop chatter sometimes dished out. Cups of tea, coffee, light snacks and cocktails available too. Not sure what more you could ask for. Great value for the money. Thanks.

Beautiful Morning on the River

Was a cool experience, kids and I enjoyed the experience. We want to do a night cruise to see the lights. Affordable and friendly would definitely recommend.
