The Sail barbary exo sailing was perfect and it's a good value for money. Nice and informative person and a perfect sail on a perfect sunny day.

Wouldn't Go Again
This sailing is nice but not worth the cost and time. Also, the carvings are underwhelming at best. This tour would be much better if the skipper and owner was more engaging and truly attempted to provide his guests with a great experience. Instead, the only refreshments made available was coffee and tea and this was only provided after some chiding. Also, the carvings were not as significant historically as one may be lead to believe and smaller than expected. Overall it was okay. Would not recommend to others.

Relaxing family trip
A very relaxing time out on the lake. Commentary provided by the skipper was informative, but not too much.
