| - These tours can obviously vary on who is giving them, as it is character driven, but the great majority of them are great. A healthy blend of cheeky, informative, and funny. If you want a standup routine go to Yuk Yuks, these are family friendly tours.
The guides are great and friendly, if you read the other views they'll mention it being 'corny' or having obstructed views of the harbour. Yes and no. All the tour boats on the harbour have covered windows and some have open decks, if it's an open deck you want I suggest you search out the right company or boats. This company has a boat with an open deck, even still there are plent of ways and opportunities to snap photos.
As for corny, perhaps but it's better than an hour straight of city related data that could be rather done via reading Lonely Planet, it's meant to entertain. If its a complete straight faced fact tour, bring a book and ear plugs, if it's a cheap ride straight to the islands, take a ferry. THT otherwise is really the best tour for the money, also the only one making regular stops on the islands (tour plus ferry!).
The windows aren't a problem for photos, I took plenty that looked amazing and if it's a crowding issue, well honestly, try a less busy day? Morning tour? Week day?
Complainers will be complainers, but this is totally worth your time.
