Must do, great way to spend an hour or so.

I was very surprised by how enjoyable the experience was, I came for the sights but thoroughly enjoyed the genuinely entertaining commentary. As a added bonus, me , and everyone who bought one of drinks on board enjoyed them greatly 👌 I want to book in for the evening cruise whilst I'm here!

Cancelled

We were told as there were only three of us on the 2pm cruise it was cancelled. At first we were told 'due to weather' but then we could take the 10.30am cruise with other people who had booked. All this was the same day. We were not able to get to the earlier trip.
