A well-narrated cruise around the bay. You can see the city skyline, islands and industrial area. A great way to get acquainted with the City. Good and snacks can be bought on board. Folks seem to rush to grab a seat up too, but the views on lower decks were very good too. Erin did a great job of describing city, natural and the port features.
