“My co-worker took this tour for his Anniversary and said it was great, so I decided to schedule a tour for Valentine’s Day. The staff was great and very well organized. Even had umbrellas and a blanket for us since it started drizzling. The ambiance and the tour guides were awesome! They were very knowledgeable about the island and very hospitable. I would definitely recommend this tour for a special date night as it is very romantic. They even had non-alcoholic champagne and various desserts for us. It can seat 2 couples, so it would even be nice to do it on a double date. I would definitely do it…”

Small Family owned so they care about the details. 5 star, if you want a special memory and a beautiful evening with the city lights book this at night..glad I made that choice.”
