Extraordinary Value and Well Worth the Cost - This excursion provided so much about history and significant landmarks. We would highly recommend the river excursion for anyone traveling to Brisbane for the first time. Even those family members who have lived in Brisbane for over 4 years, were very surprised at how much they didn't know about their new city. We are from Seattle, WA (USA).

A must do when visiting Brisbane! - Great, informative and relaxing cruise. We visited Brisbane 40 years ago and wanted to see all the changes, this was a perfect way to see the Brisbane City. The commentary was very good and seats were very comfy with extra cushions. The crew were very polite and welcoming as were the complimentary tea, coffee and muffins.

Our First Encounter with Brisbane - It was an unforgettable experience for my family and me. Since we hadn't had the chance to explore Brisbane before, we didn’t know where to begin. This trip gave us a fresh perspective and showcased the city's incredible beauty. We loved learning about its history, attractions, and top tourist spots. It was a delightful journey, made even better by enjoying it with a glass of wine. I highly recommend it!.

Nice way of seeing Brisbane from the river. - Very enjoyable trip along the river, starting in the city centre and then along the low rise expensive river front properties. Crew helpful and informative.

Good informative tour - Good tour. Interesting facts. Better or more speakers would make it easier to hear and more enjoyable. It is a long river with plenty of bridges and things to see.

Informative and pleasent river cruise. - An interesting and new perspective of Brisbane from the River. It's informative and a pleasant way to spend a couple of hours in the river breeze. The cold drinks available are definitely a good thing in the Brisbane summer. The lunch tour option looks good but didn't experience it. The only thought is to ask why people bring little kids on trips like this as they get bored and fractious in the heat.

Unhelpful company - Requested a date change or refund due to a flight delay that caused me to miss the original time of the tour. The company was unresponsive and unhelpful. I would not recommend.
