“We ended up being the only people on the boat so was very relaxing. Great to see the sunset and then cruise out of the city where it's very peaceful. Welcome cocktail and food was really nice. Extra drinks were also reasonable. This is really dinner on a boat rather than a guided tour but we were happy for this after having a bit of your fatigue anyway! Would recommend.”
