A trip on the river was included with our bus tour. It is 45 minutes with an English commentary telling you some facts about the city. Just a nice way to see the sites from a different angle. It is licensed so you can get...More

Our group was not sure when to take this cruise but the Captain was too friendly and recommended to go right then because of the emerging sunset—- so glad— it was beautiful! The cost is low - only $15– for a 50 minute tour

This was a pleasant cruise, relatively expensive, but there wasn't too much to see. The captain provided a nice talk about the few sights.
