The guide was...

The guide was excellent—he gave just enough historical detail to make it interesting. The evening was beautiful, and the size of the group was perfect.

It’s wonderful to hear the live guide struck the perfect balance with the historical stories, and that you enjoyed the beautiful evening atmosphere on board.

Not open boat and this was my preference

Was not an open boat and the windows we fogged up a lot of the time (we used our gloves/scarves to try to clear). Guide was having to take really loud because there was a group of 6 drunk dudes laughing and being loud the whole time. Enjoyed the sights and somewhat relaxing ride. Drinks were plentiful.

A warm outing as with friends

Great tour with Lara and Jack who are very friendly and tell us funny stories and give us explanations we would not have found in the paper guide. The hot drink was welcome as it was quite cold, but that did not prevent you from enjoying the outing well. Jack didn't hesitate to stop the boat so I could take the pictures.
