The overall experience was awesome. The view was obviously beautiful. The staff were nice and friendly. The yacht itself was in good condition. The refreshments were continuous. The guide was briefing us on all the historic and famous monuments we passed by. Something I really like was that they gave blankets because it was very cold even tho I was already wearing a pretty warm jacket. So coming without a jacket is out of question. The duration is more than enough. They even stopped near maiden tower for photos. It was worth the money which was 20 dollars per person.
