Great little day out a loverly cruise

I enjoyed every bit of it Would have loved it If there were refreshments

Amazing experience, enjoyed a lot and learned something new about the canals and history. There were snacks and hot chocolate with marshmallows on board, too. Upper deck was available for those who are not afraid of the rain.

Very pleasant and informative cruise
