Lovely Brisbane boat tour - This was a great trip. The views of Brisbane from the boat are lovely. Staff was friendly and the narration was informative and not boring. And there’s cover from the sun.

A journey through Brisbane's heart - Your river cruise was on my bucket list for my recent trip to Brisbane. My daughter booked the afternoon cruise for the two of us on Saturday. With storms imminent we thought it might be cancelled - but lucky for us not a drop in sight!
Your previous trip obviously had it wet with your clear sides being rolled up for us before boarding. A full tour prior, but only 8 people on ours!
Despite so few on our tour (presumably because of shocking weather that never arrived) your commentary was amazing. You still made the effort for it to be personalised, informative, interesting and humorous! I had thought it might be robotic or OTT - how wrong I was.
A fantastic chilled out trip - an awesome way to see Brisbane from the river and hear how she evolved. It really showed so many aspects of Brisbane's heart - way too many to name in a review. Besides I don't want to spoil it for others. Sitting up top and at the bow it was wonderful in the heat to feel the light breeze.
Only minor letdown was the 'afternoon tea' - at the bow we hadn't even realised it had been delivered. And the vegemite scroll was mistaken for a cinnamon scroll - bit of a taste bud shock lol. But we didn't go for the food afterall.
Thanks so much for the friendly welcome by your team and your commentary. I've already recommended to several friends who are locals!

Wonderful welcome to Australia 🇦🇺 - The welcoming amazing and safety paramount. My husband enjoyed the local beer,called felon.
Plus the ginger 🫚 beer went down to well.
All guests had complimentary, coffee,cakes ,tea.
But the history needed to be abit louder ,only because of noisy water jets going by constantly.
From old to new ,the speaker explained everything perfectly.

Comfortable and relaxed - It was really nice, staff friendly and informative and we appreciated that we could still enjoy the tour with light rain as there was a waterproof clear plastic protection on the upper deck so that was great.

Great views and an interesting history lesson. - I've been to Brisbane before but have never been on a river cruise. It was really interesting to see the sights from a different perspective and to hear the commentary about the history of the various places we passed. The bar was handy and it was a great view from the top deck.

Don’t miss this one - A most enjoyable trip. The commentary was very interesting and we learned a lot about Brisbane. Well worth doing.
The only downside was the afternoon tea. Great value for money.

Nice relaxing boat trip - Nice little boat trip, the comments about the things to see along the trip were done in a pleasant voice and very good to understand ( not like in an airplane where you can’t understand anything the captain says).
The crew even put complementary tea, coffee and fresh pastries up which were very nice.
The trip could be shortened to an hour as the last 15 minutes weren’t too exciting, but overall a very nice experience.

Meh - Boat cruise was a bit “meh”. The “guide” was a recording that was not very engaging. We were hoping for an actual human telling us stories and background of the sites we cruised by. The seats were not that comfortable. You could sit in benches around the perimeter of the upper deck, but then you faced inward instead of outward. Or, you could sit on some plastic chairs in the middle around tables.

Disappointing after reading all the good reviews. Afternoon tea was below par. Not good value for money. - We had high expectations because of the good reviews.
While the cruise was interesting, the commentary was not well informed.
It was very opinionated and biased.
Especially towards the pioneers of Brisbane. Your commentary needs to be more historically accurate.
A lot of this history of the foundation of Brisbane had lots of gaps. No mention of Queensland Parliament House or QUT which could be seen from the river. The convict history was minimal and inaccurate.
The most disappointing thing was the promise of afternoon tea. Nothing more than cheese bread broken up and some biscuits. Well below what was promised. You can do much better than this.
Overall would not recommend!
