Make sure you download the app for an audio guide.
The boat ride was nice but it was very unclear about the audio guide. You have to download an app. We kept waiting for someone to start talking.

PLEASE DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR
We just got back from this tour about 10 minutes ago. I was so desperate to write this review. Please do not book the store Save your money. Firstly, in this heat of 93° they made us wait without any canopy to board the boat. We sat upstairs in the shade however there is not enough seating space for everyone. People stand on the side and it is impossible to see the surroundings. It is a total waste of money and a rip off. Also, the audio tour is useless. We gave taken several trips from trip advisor, but this one was useless. Save your money and thank me.

Great tour
Very good welcome and a nice little tour; the indoor room is air-conditioned, which is very pleasant, and the prices of the drinks are quite reasonable.
