I would strongly recommend this tour if you are open to eating fish (the menu revolved around that) - very romantic and a beautiful tour! Thanks to the lovely family. The activity generally takes place with the views of Old town, however on the day of our event we had really choppy weather - they did not cancel our tour which I was happy for and took us another route! The guide and his family are so nice…”
