Good one Quick one - Quick trip of the city. Our guide was very professional and friendly. Worth it given all the sites are in different areas and you don’t need to figure out where you are going , transport etc

Very enjoyable cruise on the Yarra River - Our 2 very young granddaughters enjoyed themselves and we find the timing of the cruise just nice. We had light rain but it didn’t stop the girls from going to the deck to enjoy the scenery

River cruise - Very informative and comfortable. Would have been better if there was a bartender to get a drink. He seemed to be doing multiple jobs. It was only 1 hour long so wasn’t much of a hardship

Take a city circle tram, cheaper - Sights were interesting however, very little choice for food and drink on board. Commentary was limited and the same in both directions. Too short.

We preferred the city CBD cruise to this one - We travelled on a miserable rainy day so that didn't help but we found this section of the river to be a bit boring. In addition, music was blaring at the back of the boat which was annoying, unnecessary and distorted the commentary. Crew were good and welcoming.
