“Best boat tour going! This was one of the best boat tours we have done and is at a fantastic price! From the start, Captain G was kind, friendly, and informative. The boat was comfy, clean, and tidy. The food was brilliant and they catered for vegans, including dairy allergies, which was a bonus. The swimming stops were beautiful!
