Friendly, Informative, and Great Attention to Detail - The whole experience was very enjoyable. The location was easy to find, the crew were friendly and helpful, the guide provided a good balance of historical and forward-looking information and many interesting insights about the sights and the area, past and present. Tea was provided, which was a nice unexpected extra just after midday.

A city... - I was in Brisbane for particular reasons, to which I devoted most of my time, outside the city centre, the City. The City, in fact, is a cluster of skyscrapers of dubious taste, a huge casino, of ugly architecture, and, inside it, nothing attractive, except for those who are passionate about gaming. The city has a river transport that is more tourist than functional, but pleasant. Unfortunately I can't name anything memorable in the City. However, leaving the center, there are many super well cared for parks, which offer space for cohabitation and appreciation of nature, as well as pistes for walking and running, space for barbecue... There are special places to visit: a small zoo (Ipswitch), amusement parks, a hill with a wonderful restaurant... And a space along the river with several restaurants and bars, with busy streets and special spaces for children (SouthBank)

Nice views of the city - Nice way to see the city from the river as well as some other sites along the way. They also explain some history of the bridges. It was difficult to hear as a large family beside us kept talking throughout the cruise and were not at all paying attention to the information but that is not the fault of the cruise.
