I didn't expect it to feel so magical. The city just glides by, all lit up and reflected in the water—it was like watching a moving painting. There’s something really calming about floating through those narrow passages, past old bridges and leaning buildings. It felt timeless. Definitely one of those quiet, perfect moments I’ll remember.

Honestly, I thought it would be just another tourist thing, but I ended up loving every minute. The perspective from the water totally changes how you see the place. There's a kind of rhythm to the ride that makes you slow down and actually feel where you are. Super relaxing, kinda dreamy—would do it again in a heartbeat.

It was one of those experiences that sneaks up on you. You start off curious, maybe a little skeptical, and then suddenly you’re completely absorbed. The way the light hits the water, the quiet hum around you—it all pulls you in. I left feeling like I’d seen a softer, more intimate side of the city I wasn’t expecting.
