Seeing the fireworks here was once in a lifetime experience. The flames near the bottom fountain were great. You can feel the heat if you are walking by. The scenery, the music, and fireworks make you feel like you traveled back in time. I recommend this to everyone. The fountain shows unlike anything I have ever seen before. I loved this so much.

Excellent way to see some of the major sites when only in Paid for a few hours ... and in the middle of a heatwave! Booked online, walked straight into the boat, plenty of space and even managed to find a shady spot on the deck!
