Enjoyable boat ride - We enjoyed the boat ride. It was a pleasant experience. Our captain, Will R., shared trivia with us about some of the surrounding areas. Because of unfortunate cloudy weather conditions we could not catch the sunset, but it was well compensated by our overall experience of the boat ride. Thank you.

Beautiful Boat Ride! - I thought the tour would go around the skyline of the city, but when it didn't - we were all pleasantly surprised. It was very interesting to see the quiet beauty, all the beautiful homes and canals that we didn't know existed. It was a peaceful and our tour guide was great!

Sunset boat ride on Lake Austin - The trip on the lake was great. We went through what is known locally as Little Italy.the views of the wealthy homes was a good addition to the trip. Photo opportunity at sunset was amazing especially with the bridge in the background.the only disappointment was we were not told we had to pay additional fees to enter the park . The tour guide was hard to spot and only arrived just at pick up time and was meant to contact to confirm but no contact was made
