There is not historical lessons being given, you're not going very far. The captain and first mate were very fun and we had a great group of other visitors and the trip was lovely. It was very wavy the day we went, so we just stayed in the bay the whole time. For a moment they took us out of the bay so we could see how it was and WOW it was so…”

Two of the people in our trip are slower walkers, and we were really pleased that she was able to accommodate for that. And then there was the food! I don’t want to spoil it for you so I won’t get into too much of what we tasted, but let’s just say it was out of this world. And ending the trip with a visit to the rooftop bar was fabulous. Can’t recommend this trip highly enough. Thank you, Lucy!”
