The boat tour blog
Everything here is written by the people who sell these boat days, and it is organised the way the rest of the site is: four subjects, each one feeding the guides and the booking page it belongs to. If you already know which trip you want, the tour pages answer faster. If you want the longer version — what a ticket actually contains, what lands on the table at lunch, which water is warm and which is not — start here.
