River cruise

Would not recommend. Cruise left 10mins late but finished on time. The fumes were bad and the seating is very average.

Could have been better

Considering the 1 hour that people are expected to spend inside, the seating on the boat could have been arranged more comfortably, in particular the spacing between the chairs, so you don't have rub elbows with people you don't know sitting next to you. There isn't much to see from inside the boat, and many passengers tried to get out on the back deck which is rather small to accommodate even 10% of the boat's capacity. The departure was delayed by 15-20 minutes, which to us was annoying as our group was on a tight schedule. All in all, this is not a tour I would do again and I wouldn't recommend it to my friends.
