Okay for the money

The tickets were only $27 each so with respect to that, it was an okay value for the money. However, the seating was a bit chaotic and uncomfortable; the windows were very dirty, making it difficult to get good photos; and it started almost 40 minutes after the booked time. I took my mom on one of these by a different company and it was a way better experience. I’d for sure recommend that next time.

Not too bad.

It was okay. The music needs more diversity. Everything on the boat was very expressive. I paid $15 for a small drink.

Less than 1-Star

Unreliable departure & length times. Staff not helpful or friendly or knowledgeable. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

It was a little confusing...

It was a little confusing at first as to which ferry we were going to get on. There was several lines at the pier, and no one was certain which line was ours. The ferry was late coming in, but when we finally boarded the tour went well. We purchased the tickets through Groupon that made a tremendous difference in the price. Therefore we were able to ignore the minor inconveniences. Most importantly, my wife enjoyed herself.

Crappy Trip

Witnessed the shore staff being very rude to multiple customers, the women’s room on the boat did not work, the glass to view out of was filthy and there was no interaction with the crew. Total waste of money, hope others don’t make the same mistake. This company appears to just want the $ and could care less about the experience.
