Rider Beware - Creepiest part was the kid playing with spiders. Second creepiest part was the kid kicking my chair.

Amazing - The views were breath taking. The speaker was very good and informative. It reminded me of Italy with taxi boats in the water!

Creepy cruise - The views were amazing! Not creepy at all if you’re looking for something scary. Just told tales of deaths that happened in the city. Personally wish we just booked an architectural tour.

Experience this if you get a chance! - Lucky for us the weather was perfect. The host was friendly and entertaining. It was a great experience, and I would definitely do it again. The sites were beautiful at night.

Crew Did Not Control Unruly Passengers - The captain and guide were very nice and informative. Would love to give it 3 stars for them, but the overall experience just wasn't fun. The couple beside of us had young kids and didn't not even attempt to have concern for the people around them. My husband was kicked and hit by the oldest child more times than we could count. The father was constantly standing up and walking around to take photos/videos, shining his flash in the faces of everyone around us. Someone asked him nicely to stop and he then made fun of her to the other passengers.
