    The breeze that we felt as we moved forward on the boat generated great tranquility, and we were able to learn about each place.

    I went with my husband on this cruise and we both loved it. We had a great time. We had both brought some snacks to test if we could really take the food we wanted and we did. We bought some drinks there (for which I recommend bringing cash) and had a great time.

    Very good price. We enjoyed a nice experience, accompanied by a very fun group. We made several stops to learn a little more about each place. It gave us an overview of what we had to visit in the city.
