Guidekin's take

A six bridges cruise kept to nine passengers on an elegant boat, with three Port styles, biscuits and almonds served on the way.

It needs two passengers to sail, Port is for adults only and the operator asks for moderate fitness. 4.77 from 325 reviews at €35 per person for 1h 40m.

In our comparison: #19 of 21 in Six Bridges Cruise, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
