Spot on - Really nice leisurely trip. We'll organised and the staff were polite, friendly and gave a good history without over doing it. Seats on top deck are limited to 36 so beat to get there a little early. Tea, coffee and scones was a nice touch on the morning trip.

Fun trip! - Great way to see Brisbane from the water and to learn something of its history. Departure was from nearby museum complex which merit a visit too!

Highly recommended tour that should be on your Brisbane ‘to do list’. - An excellent tour of the Brisbane River. Nice and relaxing with an excellent commentary, told in a very ‘story-telling’ style voice. A light complimentary morning tea was available too. I would have no hesitation in recommending this tour.

Relaxing cruse - The scones and coffee/tea was very nice. This was a very relaxing ride down the Brisbane River with lots of interesting information about the river, its history, and development. We learned a lot about where we wanted to visit next on our vacation to Brisbane.

90 minutes of Brisbane river - The river is amazing but the cruise was old with uncomfortable seats. Moreover, the tour guide could talk less and let us enjoy the view.

Just needs slight improvement to make a difference - Found the seating uncomfortable. The cushions were worn thin on top of containers that were ribbed. The music was a bit repetitive, but the commentary was good.
