Reviews
Georgia was our guide and she was superb. She gave lots of history and background on the city and the buildings. One of the highlights was our stop at the Jewish ghetto where we spent a significant time learning about how it came about and how it has transformed over the years.
This was such a great introduction to our visit to the city!
The driver was great and the boat was excellent and smooth. Perfect trip!
The one issue we had was that in the boat portion of the tour, we were sitting outside in the back of the boat and weren't able to hear the guide who was sitting in the front.
Couldn’t quite hear all commentary from back, but a lovely couple hours
A boat without the cabin should have been utilized
Also, really not so many secret canals as the tour was titled, they were just canals that most tourists would not see since they were mostly away from the main tourist locations
