“We had a lovely day seeing the towns along the river and it was good to get out of the city. Our guide was very informative and very knowledgeable. It was great not to have to worry about finding our own lunch. One young lady serving at the restaurant was very rude and she didn't want to serve us but that was her problem. Overall, the lunch was lovely and in such a beautiful spot overlooking the river. Some really great camera shots. The trip back on the ferry was an excellent way to end the trip.”

I definitely recommend this tour and I will treasure this experience. Thank you!”
