Reviews
The walk is nice, but I didn't think there was much light, a bit disappointed. However, I recommend it for a daytime walk.
There were way too many people waiting for boarding and it was a hassle. You couldn't see some of the installations completely and depending on where you were seated you even saw less. The explanation was nice but only available in English. The boat driver was explaining a lot too but in the back third of the boat you couldn't hear or understand anything he said. The installations are mostly nothing too special but overall it's still a nice-ish cruise which is too expensive for what it is and offers.
Made a reservation for 7 o'clock, but the place was packed with people. Had to wait in line for a long time, completely defeating the purpose of reserving tickets. They also have a policy of no refunds for late arrivals or no-shows. We arrived early as required, but didn't get on the boat until 8 o'clock, after waiting in line in the rain for an hour and a half. Speechless. Please don't oversell tickets in the future.
