“Yes, this is a bit more expensive than some of the others on offer but it was an extremely civilised trip, full of useful information about the city and what we were seeing. There were only 18 people in our party so it felt very personalised and relaxed. Its a small craft not a huge ferry type rammed full of people. The snacks consisted of an ample fruit platter and bowls of salty nuts and trail mix. The wine included in the ticket cost equated to approx 2x 125ml glasses each and it was reasonably palatable for the occasion, a big plus point being it was served in proper glassware,…”
