we enjoyed the excursion and the narration by bradley. i would have given the experience 5 stars, except for the outrageous price of photo that was taken as we boarded: $38!!! many people were passing them up, as we did. we would have purchased for $10-12. apparently you would rather sell 1 at $38, than 5 at $10.

The river boat was darling. The staff was friendly, the narrator was super knowledgeable and spoke clearly and engaging. The only things I thought was frustrating is that one of the staff members was painting some rails at the front of the ship and the smell was SO strong & hard to escape. Hard to relax in that environment. Also, the line for drinks/refreshments was so long and on a 90 min cruise, it’s a time suck.
