1.00The boat didn't even show up for our pick up. Booked for a 10am boat trip and went to the location we were told to with plenty of time. Other people were waiting also and not a single boat showed up and no staff anywhere to help. I tried to phone the number provided and got no answer. A refund was requested after waiting almost an hour.
Not satisfied!

1.00There was nobody at the spot. We arrived to the spot and the ferry capatin told us our ferry wasn't at the Spot yet. Then another capitan told us that the first capitán lied to us and that was our ferry.

1.00We arrived at the spot 1h before the time given so we don’t miss the boarding. When we clicked on the directions given it said that we were on the right spot, we waited for so long in the cold and no ship came , we asked around they directed us to another ship we walked back and forth trying to find the right one until we decided to leave because it was too cold. I called for a refund because the address they put is not the right one , now they don’t want to refund me. That’s not fair to people that follow the directions given, they should update it because it’s not the first time that is happening.
Great time! it was amazing!

3.00Street touts are quite aggressive in their sales pitch and assured us a great price but it looks much cheaper to book elsewhere! We paid $52 each. Bus to pier and back included. Boat was great and views magnificent. Bar on board. Staff all lovely. Expensive but glad I did it
The boat did not arrive

1.00The boat did not arrive. Also other customers a family from Australia etc,.. were waiting with us. I booked another 60 minute tour on Pier 36 directly from the operator, that was luckily departing from PIER 36 at a similar time. We have had a great time at this other tour.
