I loved this whole tour the guide was amazing and told us a lot of details. When we were riding the bus to the activities the guide told us everything about the things we passed. You'll enter the parliament by yourself but the guide will get you your tickets (tha guide got them for us) the parliament was goregeous and the guide was funny and talkative

Excellent evening. Boat was very smart with cushioned seats and tables for two or four people. Boat was limited in number so everyone had a good view of the lit up sights. Musicians played a variety of music and went around the boat taking requests. A free glass of Prosecco was haded out on arrival. Bar available for further drinks.

It's better buying the tickets ahead of time. We went on Sunday and it was crowded. I really enjoyed the palace and the garden.

Very romantic, nice trip. Jazz music in the background, beautiful views and good vibe.

We went on the 5pm sailing. It was busy, but we found a seat. It had amazing views!
