    Our cruise was absolutely packed so we were shoulder to shoulder but the scones were tasty and there was coffee and tea. I had to move directly below the speaker to be able to hear the person giving the tour. Overall a nice way to see the city and would recommend.

    The boat was very clean the staff very welcoming offering assistance to get on board giving safety advice as to how to safely gain access to upper deck. As I have knees that don’t bend very well we choose the lower deck, being able to have a table with window access. The cabin was spacious and the layout was well throughout. The commentary was entertaining and the captain was very knowledgeable about past and present history the river cruise time went very quickly as we were continually looking at landmarks being pointed out to us. The river cruise Staff very helpful and accommodating. The cabin was very comfortable and spacious the boat was not fully booked on the day we took the cruise. But I think even when fully booked the layout would allow everyone to be accommodated without feeing cramped. Morning tea was provided on our cruise the scones looked delicious but we did not partake as we had had breakfast but other passengers assured us they tasted as good as they looked. 10/10

    This was a great way to check out the Brisbane river. It was very easy to organise and find the boarding point. The information provided during the cruise was interesting and the dad jokes can thick and fast! Scones and tea were yum! Would highly recommend this
