Great team

We had intermittent showers on the day of the boat with the first session being abandoned. Unfortunately, there is no cafe or any free activity to do while we waited an hour for the next time slot. The staff we encountered were all helpful and professional, the experience itself was great for the price we found on bookme.

Thanks for you review. We are also sad that there isn't a cafe onsite anymore. I am glad you enjoyed your experience otherwise :)
