OMG this is one best trips! Guides fantastic and made it so fun, one called Brian, cant remember other name but cracking young lad. Cheese & mustard delicious and wine and beer was free flowing! Very informative but in a fun way! Defo recommend! The best! Gutted it only last one hour!
Guide was awesome. She did a great job talking to everyone while serving drinks. 1 hour was quick but you could see a lot of the city on the water. Highly recommend booking at night
Merijn was a brilliant guide very funny and very much appreciated!!!
