- To recommend EN sunset cruise: not too many people, good explanation, lots of photo opportunities EN and especially great that a pickup and dropoff to hotel was included, because DE cruise terminal was a bit away from old town!

Come to see the sea! - We had a good time. The presenter told the history of each monument — the drinks were delicious and the crew efficient. A crew member took excellent photos of us.
