Nice big boat, great food... - Nice big boat, great food and interesting dances. Big plus warm inside and possibility to make pictures outside from the beautiful buildings. The only minus was a little chaotic food pick up from buffet. There was no order and people were stuck often.

Met all expectations! - 2-hr experience (1.5hr cruise); Met all expectations for entertainment, tasty food, drinks and views :) Stately dining area with plenty of food and appetizers. Great live musicians and passionate dancers. Warm enough to wear a cute outfit if desired:). Lost 1 star for table service as never saw server again after initial order for cash cocktails placed.. had to then ask for the included wine,beer,cola on our own.

Very misleading!! - Its a nice cruise along the river but I would definitely advise you to question the details of what you are paying for. We paid for one of the most expensive packages which the main attraction was a 12 course meal. It turned out the "12 course meal" was a buffet. This is very missleading. When I asked a member of staff how this is 12 courses the response I got was, "if u want 3 courses, u go up 3 times, if u want 12 u go up 12 times". I was shocked with this response to say the least. This was booked as a birthday present for my partner and I was very disappointed. Another thing to consider was people who paid for a 3 couse meal where obviously paying a lot less and getting the exact thing that I was...I would've rather pay approximately £20 for the cruise and then eat in a restaurant afterwards. I paid over £140 because of the misleading advertising.

Not worth it, I will not do it again. - This tour was pathetic. They had only the worst seats open for people who buy from Viator or Get your guide etc as they said that all the seats with good view are already booked, maybe on other platforms. Food was 4/10. Music was good.
