It was awesome! Our guide (Sven I believe) was absolutely brilliant and very funny, we definitely recommend it! The charcuterie board was also nice and filling.
Throughly enjoyed our cruise. Very peaceful, relaxing, and worth the money for sure. Had a great tour guide who was knowledgeable, funny, and truly made us feel relaxed on the entire journey. Great conversations all throughout. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a nice, romantic, and peaceful cruise to do this one as it’s truthfully remarkable.
Nice cruise with great information provided by our tour guide and boat captain Robert.
Our family of four (two teens, 14 & 18) has a fantastic time. We were originally supposed to do an earlier tour but because a scheduling snafu on our part, we missed the boat! But the company was very accommodating and let us re-schedule to the evening candle-light tour and it was fantastic. Our skipper, Sven, was super cool - extremely knowledgeable, friendly, funny, everything you’d want from a tour guide. Good snacks and tasty drinks made the trip even more enjoyable. Thanks!
Sven was an amazing tour guide - very knowledgeable and friendly. The boat is clean and romantic, with candles and food and drinks all ready when we got on board. The small setting makes for a more personal experience. Highly recommend!
