A great river trip. Fantastic host. - Our guide, Fabio, or something like that, was a fantastic host. Great information on the 2 hour trip. With snacks and 3 wine tastings along the route. Was well worth doing and get great views along the river. Arrive to the marina early as there is a bar, and did a great guiness too.

Good tour, but hosts were... - Good tour, but hosts were late by 15min without any communication, snacks and wine were sparse. Not 5 stars but solid if you know what to expect.

Good Boat Trip but Tour Needs Improvement - The boat trip itself was pleasant, but the overall tour could benefit from some improvements in organization and guide presentation. The meeting time was set for 13:45, but the team arrived closer to 14:00, causing a slight delay. Our tour guide appeared quite young and seemed somewhat inexperienced, which affected the flow of information. The commentary felt rehearsed and lacked deeper insights. Occasionally, there were some mix-ups in facts that required participants to ask for clarification. Additionally, snacks were offered but were not evenly distributed among guests. The guide focused a lot on entertaining the children on board, which was great for families but made the commentary less engaging for other participants. With some enhancements in these areas, the tour experience could be much more enjoyable for everyone.
