Bus driver was very very helpful.
The only downside was finding the bus stop at Mainz Central Station. When we found it the small sign had no English so we didn't know if we were in the right place.
Thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

A great way to get an overview of a busy city
But, impossible to find where you stop at the Hauptbahnhof in Zurich. I came in by train and had my ticket. I walked around outside that huge airport for 45 minutes!

I booked a ticket for a child who was 5 years old at the time. The ticket sales stated that you have to pay from the age of 5. The tour guide on the bus told me that you only have to pay for a ticket from the age of 6. I paid for nothing! You should revise your booking page so that the correct dates are included.

There is a kiosk serving drinks next to the ticket collection point, so it looks like it is part of the same business. However when trying to board the boat we were not allowed to take the drinks purchased from the kiosk on to the boat. It did not say anywhere that is not permissable. They were forcing us to buy drink and water from them shop on board - (although there was an excessively long queue). Many other passengers spent most of their time time queuing for the shop on the boat rather than enjoying the experience.
