“So, the cruise itself is pretty underwhelming, but I enjoyed being on a boat for an hour and a half. The view of the city for the first few minutes is lovely, but, after that it’s old boats, cranes, average looking buildings. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and had perfect English, the tour is very reasonably priced and you get a free drink of your choice included, so it’s good value. Obviously my view is subjective and others seem to have enjoyed it”
