Interesting Tour and Commentary - The tour was fabulous. We really enjoyed the interesting commentary. There wasn't too many people on board, but I was surprised how popular the tour was. There were scones with jam and cream that my son said were delicious (I'm gluten intolerant so I didn't have one). The tour was the perfect length of time as it was cold out of the sun. So interesting. I'd really recommend doing this tour if you are either a visitor or a resident.

Excellent Tour of the River - Don’t miss this!! - The Brisbane river cruise was a great experience. The crew were welcoming and the boat itself was very comfortable. The weather was perfect for such a relaxing tour. The Commentary was very informative pointing out the places of interest as we sailed up and back the River. Morning tea was scones with tea and coffee…..and was delicious. I would highly recommend this tour.

Enjoyable, informative and relaxing cruise on Brisbane River - A very enjoyable, relaxing and informative cruise on the Brisbane River. Boarding and disembarking were well managed. The commentary was easy to understand, we now know more about the history of Brisbane and the city as it currently is. Morning tea was easy to access, the scone was a pleasant surprise, we had assumed biscuits would be served. We would recommend this cruise although after the cruise we realised we should have booked the three for one package, ie, cruise, meal and Brisbane Wheel.

Good cruise but needs facts and dates that include pre colonial times - The tour was great and informative and awesome to see Brisbane from the water… it was also good to learn about the more recent history of Brisbane and follow along with the provided map and dated facts on the map… However, one major thing that was disappointing (and we felt wrong) was how the facts on the map only dated back to Captain Cook arriving in 1770 and naming the glass Mountains but there was absolutely no mention of pre colonialism or mention of the original indigenous people or their culture in and around this area… it was as if Brisbane only was recognised as existing from when the British came and started building landmarks and bridges etc, especially given that the aboriginal people are said to be the oldest indigenous culture in the world. Would be better to start with facts and dates about the custodians of the land around Brisbane and their place names for significant areas rather than just the British colonisers great contributions. Still good to do and nice to have coffee, tea and scones for morning tea.. very relaxing way to see the city sights. Also friendly crew :)
