Good commentary in two languages and the light at the end was beautiful. Board early for the front seats.

Islands, bridges and the old town from the water

It rained the whole time and we stayed warm on the lower deck. The windows are big enough to see everything.
Full boat on a Saturday, so the upper deck was busy. The drink and the guide made up for it.
