Where you'll be
From Passprt Community
- Go for the evening ride when the city lights reflect on the river and the mood feels calm and enchanting.
- If you do the walk instead you can save money and still enjoy riverside murals and cafés with an audio guide downloaded on your phone.
- Be prepared for queues or wait times that sometimes stretch beyond an hour based on recent visitor feedback.
- Some people felt the boat motors were too loud so the commentary wasn’t clear, so treat it as a visual experience more than an audio one.
- A few visitors mentioned unfriendly or unhelpful staff at the jetty so stay patient and polite when asking for directions.
- If you’re sensitive to smell pick an evening without rain when the water is calmer and less likely to have an off‑putting scent.
- Morning boat crews clean the river, so if you walk earlier you may see efforts to clear trash and feel better about the environment around you.
- The riverside bars have grown noisier over time and some visitors felt crowded or pestered so walk calmly and pick a quieter stretch for photos or relaxation.
