We did a private tour with a local company called Red tours. Elena the owners knowledge was fantastic and what you seen on the tour made it more interesting. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and Elena bought us some champagne. The sites and former palaces were better from the boat tour as opposed to the road. Great place to visit.

Lovely way to view the city. Lighting by night extremely beautiful. Irina was kind,professional, and very accommodating particularly considering she picked us up at our hotel and walked us to the boat launch. Irina’s English language skills were quite good and we learned a lot from her. Irina, thank you for a great excursion.
