We enjoyed the boat ride. Driver was very good and time was nice. I wish the audio had more content. It felt like there was more information that could be shared that would have taught us more...

The train staff are polite while also being quite humorous. The tour guide is very enthusiastic and always tries to meet all the customers’ needs. I now understand why they have a 4.9-star rating...
The train staff are polite while also being quite humorous. The tour guide is very enthusiastic and always tries to meet all the customers’ needs. I now understand why they have a 4.9-star rating here. In my opinion, they deserve 10 stars. The wide variety of complimentary drinks is also a very commendable point. ⭐🚆🥤
