It was worth it. Amazing trip. Specially dam and George where the best and very helpful
Thank you for the 5 stars! It was a pleasure having you on board.
The boat ride offered beautiful views and great weather, and the stop at Our Lady of the Rocks was good. However, there was no safety briefing or mention of where the life jackets were located. The itinerary said we would stop at Perast, but this did not happen; instead, we stopped nearby for swimming. The included bottle of water was also not provided. I appreciated being moved from the 2-hour tour to the 3-hour tour, but I felt too much time was spent on the boat rather than at the planned stops. Overall, a pleasant experience with room for improvement in communication, safety, and following the advertised itinerary.
