Terrible tour.
Yvonne_K, Jul 2025
This tour has no narration. You have to use your own cell phone to hear about the sights. Most importantly, this is not a coach bus. The bus was extremely hot!
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Dear Yvonne, Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear the experience didn’t meet your expectations. While the tour does use a self-guided audio system via smartphone, we understand that this may not suit everyone’s preferences and will take your comments into consideration as we look to improve. We’re especially concerned to hear about the discomfort on the bus, this is not the standard we aim to provide, and we’ll be investigating the issue with our transport partner. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Best regards,
This is completely self-guided; don’t expect someone to give you a tour
Apostolos_S, Jun 2025
Do not expect a guide to give you a tour while you’re riding on the bus (double-decker w/open top). When we arrive to the meeting point, we were told that we needed to download an app, which would give us a tour while the bus drove around. So, if you do this, make sure you have headphones or AirPods for everyone in your group, because it’s noisy on the bus and you can’t just play the “tour” off your phone. I sat on the bottom level with my kids to avoid the sun exposure, but the views were not very good and we smelled gasoline exhaust fumes the whole time (almost two hours). The boat part of the tour is even more “self-guided.” They just give you tickets for a boat ride and send off my yourself to find the boat. And there is no tour guide or phone app to guide you while on the boat. Just set your expectations low for this activity. The gentleman who met us at the meeting point was very kind and helpful with downloading the app, etc., but once we got on the way, he had no role whatsoever.

Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that the experience didn’t meet your expectations, and we appreciate you taking the time to share these insights — they’re very helpful to us and future guests. This particular tour is designed as a self-guided experience using the audio app, but we understand how that may come as a surprise if you're expecting a live guide throughout. Your comments about the need for headphones, the noise level, and the challenges of the lower deck are all valid and will help us improve how we communicate what the experience entails in advance. We’re glad to hear that the team member at the meeting point was kind and helpful — we’ll be sure to pass that along. That said, we’re looking into ways to make the overall experience smoother, especially for families and first-time visitors. Thank you again for your honest review — it helps us improve and better set expectations for all our guests. Best regards,
The river tour boat was...
Susan_R, May 2025
The river tour boat was great, fun. The bus tour is unnecesary and the bus was dirty. The tour guide only guided us to the bus and that’s it!! Not helpful at all.
Response from Host, May 2025

We’re always working to enhance our tours and appreciate your input as it helps us do better. If you’d like to share more details or discuss your experience further, feel free to reach out to us directly. Best regards,
Beautiful River cruise but lots of waiting and walking
BruceAllan_W, Apr 2025
We did the double decker tour in the late morning, early afternoon because I can't walk very far. We decided not to do the bus tour at 7 and instead walked to take the cruise. Disappointed that you didn't say we would have to walk to get the cruise. It took us 20 minutes from the drop spot. The cruise itself was lovely, but again poor instructions as to which stairs to go down and where to go - there were several signs for the tour we were supposed to go on both sides of the stairs.
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Dear Bruce, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the cruise, but we sincerely apologize for the confusion regarding the walk to the departure point and the unclear instructions at the location. Your experience is valuable to us, and we will work on improving the clarity of our instructions to ensure a smoother experience for everyone. We appreciate your feedback and hope we have the opportunity to welcome you again for a more seamless tour experience in the future.
