Up a lazy river - Unhurried and able to step away from the daily hustle and bustle of one’s usual daily life.
Good way to see outlying areas.

Truth of our trip - The photo of the food-table (showing seafood, salad etc.) in the advertisement photos is not true at all. The only option they distributed was chicken. I shared a photo of my lunch when I asked VEG option. My wife was also unhappy why the driver never react or respond when we say Thank you. Other things were good.

Disappointed - Having done a previous tour with this company and being impressed this tour was a disappointment. On the way we are advised the tour had changed. Replacement boat was run down, food was substandard, no time in Mannum as stated. Arrived at chocolate factory 10 mins before closing and cheese factory was closed. We were not advised of the changes prior to our tour.
