“I don't feel that the description measured up to what was experienced and it was unclear that for almost 6 hours you would be busy in a very small town and 3 hours was the boat trip itself. Feel that the tips did not hold, for example "have a morning coffee at the newly built hotel before you go to the museum" We were rejected at the hotel because they still had breakfast seating. The boat trip was beautiful and the Havila boat we got to go on was fresh and nice.”
