Excellent service and lovely food. We were very interested in the guide’s comments but they were not discernible over the noise in the cabin.

Food & tea presentation was great. Would like to have been told at the beginning of the cruise that we'd be consuming food commentary-free the first half of the cruise & that the commentary would happen on the second half of the cruise. We had a very enjoyable time; thank you.

The staff are super friendly and helpful. The views are great and it was organized / run really well. The tea and snacks could have been better but you get what you pay for. I’d splurge and get a window table if you can as some are more toward the middle of the boat which can make it hard to see.

No AC on the boat. Sat beside a window and it was miserable. Food was mediocre, nothing amazing. They had someone speaking on the loudspeaker but you couldn’t understand anything he was saying 🤷‍♀️

I paid that amount of money to get the top rated cruise ,but we didn’t get what we paid for because we had not given the choice for a table by the window which we aimed for ,instead we have been seated as the cruise members reserved for us a table not by the window ,,and they said we have to pay extra 20 pounds to got window table ,which I found Viator was not clear at reservation time to know what should we expect

The boat itself was lovely and the captains were very nice. The toilets however were gross, 3 out of 5 toilets were blocked and the smell was horrendous. The afternoon tea was stale and absolutely tiny! 4 mini sandwiches rock-solid bread between 2 people for over £50!! The wait staff were the real let down; we were sat down on a boiling hot boat for 45 minutes with no service. I got up and asked for 3 glasses of water while we waited and was told to go back to my seat by the first waitress so I had to go and ask someone else. Didn’t think a glass of tap water was such a difficult request. The afternoon tea didn’t arrive until we were on the return journey so we only had it on our table for 20 minutes before they tried to start clearing away to get you off the boat. The £12 ‘mojito’ was soda water and rum; no mint in sight and frankly in-drinkable. Don’t waste your money; go on a sight seeing tour on a boat and go get your afternoon tea somewhere else. Such a waste of money.
