Nice views but no guide on our tour - I booked this tour based on the Google and Viator reviews raving about the hilarious guides and all the live commentary. Our captain was funny during the boarding and safety spiel, but after that? Silence. Absolutely no commentary for the entire cruise, which was super disappointing given that’s the main reason I chose this company. On the positive side, the bartender was friendly and the boat itself was clean — but overall, this fell way short of the experience I was expecting.
