Lovely cruise on a lovely day. - It was a very smooth booking process. Central location for the start of the cruise. Good commentary and friendly staff. Lunch at the Breakfast Creek was huge and we got to spike the keg. Smooth sailing on the way home.

Great value view of Brisbane River - MV Neptune and its crew are a great way to cruise from Southbank Brisbane to the iconic Breakfast Creek Hotel. The crew were extremely attentive and skilful (the berthing on a fast-flowing tide was smooth as silk) with informative audio about the sights we passed.
Excellent value.

Tops day with family - The weather might not have been the best, but we were still high and dry on the MV Neptune. The onboard morning tea of scones, tea, and coffee was a delight downriver to the Breaky Creek Hotel. The Breaky Creek lunch was generous and devoured by my lot. I enjoyed the history 'on the wall' of the hotel...proud to be a Queenslander. On the relaxed journey back to the boarding jetty, an onboard cold beer and wine went down real easy. Be sure to listen to the commentary... some interesting facts about river life will have you wowing! I'm glad I experienced River City Cruises with my family... tops one!

Cruise & Lunch - Not what expected. Thought whole trip was Cruise and Lunch, details gave impression that boat pulled up at Pub and all got off and boat waited! Having said that we did enjoy the boat, pub and lunch.

A ruined day ! - Lunch, which was included on this tour, was not actually on the boat, but at a hotel which was quite a distance from where to boat dropped me off. I was give a map to find my way to the hotel only to discover that one of the footpath was actually blocked of for repairs. There was a sign with an alternative route but as I was not a local could not work it out. I eventually decided to go back to where to boat dropped me off and waited for over an hour for the boat to return.
On hearing this the operator advised that they would of course, refund me the cost of the lunch. Seeing that the whole tour was ruined for me I would have expected that they refund
me the whole tour.
