Very peaceful trip and lots of opportunity to move around and take photos. Only about 15 people on board so you pretty much had an area to yourself. Boarding started 10 minutes before the trip started. The staff came around to take drink orders as soon as we set off. Drinks are not included in the price.”

Unfortunately we were not able to hear the commentary partly due to the quality and positing of the speakers, unfortunately these were drowned out by the loud and inconsiderate people behind us. Perhaps a phone based audio guide would be a good idea (along side the existing guide for those who don’t have smart phones.”
