What Josefina Rohan likes about Captain Bill's:
We were a group of four adults and three children, and we had a wonderful experience. The restaurant features an open upper deck as well as a lower deck with air conditioning. We took a one-hour sightseeing tour, which we thoroughly enjoyed. They allowed us to bring our drinks, which was a nice touch, and they were accommodating with strollers as well. During the tour, they provided updates about the sights around us... View all feedback.

What Ann Hight doesn't like about Captain Bill's:
I was very disappointed with the tour. The ranger who spoke on the top deck provided much more valuable information. Unfortunately, it was too cold up there, so most of my fellow travelers opted to stay below and listen to a man reading a narrative instead. View all feedback.
