This experience was incredible and worth every penny! The only con unfortunately is something out of the cruise operator control but could somehow be addressed with potential guests: the queue jumping. It was very disrespectful. We were 2 and chose the last cruise of the day (08:40pm), we arrived before 8pm to be able to go in first and chose seats. There were already 6 people in line, divided in 2 groups. As dozens of more people started arriving everybody just started jumping the queue and disrespecting the order of arrival. People who got there before us were thrown to the back of the line and we would have been too if we didn't say anything.

Nice tour with comfortable minibus. Arrived half hour earlier as requested and was told that we can wait at the lobby of Intercontinental hotel. Our guide was great and ready to answer any questions. Visited the most important sights of city and finally taken the boat for 1 hour River cruise at night time

Highly Recommended! We were in the evening on the "boat" the lights of the city, a dream. Very nice staff, audio guide in different languages.

Very relaxed trip and seeing all the sights at nights is something everyone should experience. Would 100% recommend.

Really fun time, great value for money and lovely to see the sights up close at night
