Great - The first part of the tour which was a city tour is just under two hours. Avery was our driver and he was quite knowledgeable about the area. If you choose the architectural cruise, he will drop you off at the pier. Be aware that you now have to find transportation back to your vehicle. Victor was the narrator of the architectural tour. He was the most knowledgeable individual in his field that I have ever encountered. He was also very enthusiastic and friendly. We went to the later afternoon and it was quite chilly on the boat.

Could have been better. A lot of profanity - Avery, (I think that was his name - went on Oct 24, 2025) was very knowledgeable. He used a lot of cursing which took away from the experience. That's the only thing I would change.
