This cruise was very nice - a beautiful day to be out on the river. We were encouraged to sit out on the open main deck for the best views, but this became problematic. The guide was very knowledgeable and shared her narrative very well, but we couldn't hear or understand what was being said for at least a third of the time. She had too much information to share to take pauses, so every time we passed under a bridge (which was often:), it was too noisy and we couldn't understand anything. And as she talked, whenever her voice dropped off, we couldn't hear her then either. I blame a poor sound system for most of this problem and believe for the price of the tour it should have been better.

The tour took us past so many beautiful and diverse buildings! We could never have seen them all on our own, walking. The guide was very informative, funny, and friendly! We REALLY enjoyed it!
