A pleasant and gentle way to take in the beauty of Brisbane. - A pleasant and gentle meander up and down the river with an informative guide pointing out various landmarks, noticing points of historical significance interspersed with humorous anecdotes and encouragements to enjoy afternoon tea and pastries or something harder at the bar below.

A different way of getting to know Brisbane! - Nice cruise with friendly staff. Got to know a little bit about the history of Brisbane. Nice touch was the refreshments given during the cruise. We throughly enjoyed our few hours out on the river.

Great tour. Better than expected - Great tour great information. Maybe 20 minutes longer than it needed to be. We tried to book morning tour but couldn’t, also tried to book via phone and communication wasn’t direct with company which would have been preferred

Very pleasant, good value. - Friendly attentive staff, pleasant short river trip. Commentary interesting and informative-plenty enough to keep our interest as we also wanted to enjoy the experience without a full on history lecture. Fully stocked bar -( pay ) Included in the price was a selection of afternoon tea sweet pastries/buns. Tea/coffee, nothing special but I thought it was a good value trip and would happily do it again if I had the opportunity. P.s. The boarding point was right by the state library. We got there very early, and went in to their cafe to wait, lovely, quiet, air conditioned cafe overlooking the river, so we could see our boat coming in to moor.
