Beautiful - What a lovely experience! Our tour guide Doug was very knowledgeable and a true Englishman. The walking tour was delightful for all ages! The tea was unbelievable! I wish I could find tea like that at home!

Awesome experience! - Food & tea presentation was great. Would like to have been told at the beginning of the cruise that we'd be consuming food commentary-free the first half of the cruise & that the commentary would happen on the second half of the cruise. We had a very enjoyable time; thank you.

A lovely trip. - Excellent service and lovely food. We were very interested in the guide’s comments but they were not discernible over the noise in the cabin.

Great price, nice trip - The staff are super friendly and helpful. The views are great and it was organized / run really well. The tea and snacks could have been better but you get what you pay for. I’d splurge and get a window table if you can as some are more toward the middle of the boat which can make it hard to see.

Not worth the money - No AC on the boat. Sat beside a window and it was miserable. Food was mediocre, nothing amazing. They had someone speaking on the loudspeaker but you couldn’t understand anything he was saying 🤷♀️

misleading information from viatar - I paid that amount of money to get the top rated cruise ,but we didn’t get what we paid for because we had not given the choice for a table by the window which we aimed for ,instead we have been seated as the cruise members reserved for us a table not by the window ,,and they said we have to pay extra 20 pounds to got window table ,which I found Viator was not clear at reservation time to know what should we expect

Wouldn’t recommend - too expensive for what you get. - Was pretty excited about this, but I ended up getting ignored and had to go ask for my tea - took until we were about 40 min into the trip to get it (and the first time I asked I was basically told to buzz off). The food was okay (emphasis on okay). The ride was nice, however the compartment was really full, which made it hot and uncomfortable. My advice? hit a museum instead or take a cheaper boat tour. 100 pounds is massively overvaluing this experience.
