I did not have a seat at the top of the boat ,the offered seat was at the front and during noon the chair was so hot.The captain refused to move the chair to a shaded area.The guide wasn’t exceptional but was quite fast in narrating the tour but was quite humorous. The guide helped me to narrow down the must see attractions at the city.
