Bay to Bay Cruise - This cruise is really worthwhile doing. From my perspective using a cane and not being able to walk far this cruise was perfect. Saw everything we needed and commentary was perfect. The staff were so kind and friendly

Lots of flies - The tour was amazing. We had so much fun touring the Bay Area. My only complaint was the top floor of the boat was infested with flies and they were very bothersome. Tried our best to not let them ruin the amazing experience
