“Great experience and. A great way to see/learn about the city. Olga was our tour guide and she did a great job explaining everything. The stop on the Asian side was fine but there’s not a lot where they drop you except to eat. Overall for the cost- it’s a great relaxing 3 hour tour. Recommend sitting on the left side of the boat for best views.”
