Most Popular★ 5.0

“Caroline our guide was great. Cruising the river at night is beautiful— amazing lights on the buildings. We went on a foggy night but it was still something to see!!! Dinner was delicious — many choices! I think it was much better to have a private guide than a group. We’d highly recommend this tour.”
