5.00As much as I dislike touristy things like this, I LOVED this tour. The guide Abby was a total hoot and really added so much to the whole experience (shout out to Abby's mom who follows this Trip Advisor site to read about her daughter - you did a great job with that one MOM!!) Cool experience first driving a bit around the town then VROOM! SPLASH! into the water for a lovely tour of the harbor. (You don't get wet) Well worth the money and great for an intro to this lovely city.

3.00Tour itself was great. The Duck performed just as advertise. The difficulty was in locating the pickup point. Directions from the cruise ship were nonexistent and the address did not appear in maps. Had to rely on local directions which were not accurate.
Even in the rain the tour...
