Wonderful tour. - Gustavo was great, a good host and guide for the tour. It was just my wife and I so it was nice having such a great guide. I hope anyone doing the boat rides gets someone as good as Gustavo. Thanks for a very nice ride.

Fun tour! - Ivan was terrific— a lot of fun and his sidekick, Jose, made the time fly by. We came with our kids (13 and 15), and even though it’s a bit of a booze cruise, they still had a lot of fun. It was also nice to get out of the center of the city and see a different part of the area. Highly recommend!

A fun time! - This was a very fun tour of the canals. The guides were friendly and knowledgeable and made sure everyone was comfortable throughout. We went with our family including kids ages 10-14 and they all loved it, though would say it was more of a "booze cruise" than i was expecting (especially at 10am) so some families might prefer a different vibe. We also didn't make it to the Island of the Dolls which I was sorry to miss.
