Good view of the city skyline and the entire trip is 30mins. However my partner and I were in the shared cabin with a family including toddlers. They were loud the entire time and shouting with their parents not seeming to care. My only request would be for the operators to use some sense when allocating people to cabins rather than just lumping singles and couples with groups of loud kids. Felt like we were on public transport rather than a tranquil experience.

It was not crowed when we went so we got our own car to ourselves. Great views.

Different rules for different people - everyone in front of us had a pod to themselves (groups of 2 & 3 people) our turn came and it hadn't got any busier but we had to share with another group and the pod after us went around empty because the staff person was too busy talking to her colleagues. Understand the rules but make them the same for everyone. Ruined my experience as it was not a cheap 30 minutes!
