Overall rating

4.7 / 5

The tour is great and you can see a lot. I didn't take the boat trip to the Church, in my opinion it's not worth paying the difference, considering you can take a boat on your own and it's around 5 euros per person, you just need to be careful with the time.

A good excursion during low season when you have time. Otherwise I can’t imagine how long the border crossing would have been! Overall I was a good experience for us to be able to make the trip as the season winds down.

A view you won’t forget. Reminds me of lake Como. The guide was excellent in explaining what to do and introductions.

Great day out would highly recommend. So relaxing and loads of food an drink onboard. Very friendly and helpful staff

A wonderful experience on this quaintly done beautiful boat...
