Appreciate the flexibility - Our ships tender process was very slow so we missed our time. The tour company was very helpful and allowed us to change to a later cruise or get a refund. Tour was enjoyable and smooth.

Family friendly and interesting - Clean boat and bathroom. Friendly service. Covered seating area was great because windy day on the water can be cold. Recommend for a different view of Newport. Would like a longer trip farther up the bay.
