Must try - A very relaxing and informative cruise. The commentary was excellent, and there were plenty of scones with jam and cream to go around for morning tea. A lovely way to see Brisbane and surrounds.

Excellent trip - Had a wonderful and peaceful experience with river tours. It was a one and half hours morning tea river cruise trip, very friendly staff and informative. About 30 people were there. Thank you so much for the experience given.

Wonderful morning on the Brisbane River - A last minute decision to book a morning cruise with no regrets! It was a great way to fill in the morning and see the sights from a leisurely cruise along the northern reaches from Southbank to Breakfast Creek and return. Morning tea of scones, tea and coffee was included.

River City Cruises could be so much more - travel the loop on the Rivercat - much more interesting at a cost of $.50c. - Very underwhelming commentary during the cruise and uncomfortable seating. A lovely morning tea which was self serve.
