Relaxing boat trip - It's a good board trip, guided with a touch of humor, which is nice. It was pretty. However, everything was similar, I would have thought that we were visiting some slightly unusual places on the lake. It remains a pleasant and relaxing board trip.

Boat needs urgent upgrades - Boat needs upgrades e.g. bars in front of our seat unfixed and dropped when my kids were holding it, microphone not well connected thus we could not hear explanations. Crew too informal with security on the boat and no uniform.
