As well as this, the usual driver was unwell so we had a non-English speaking driver. This was daunting initially but he was the loveliest man! We were the only group on the boat and he made us well very welcome! There was a bar, blankets, toilet, and an upstairs viewing area. We were offered to listen to an English recording for the tour but instead the driver let us connect to the speaker and we had our music on! Driver was bobbing…”
