We loved seeing the beautiful buildings and sites from the water view. The boat stopped halfway to pick up and drop off passengers. The entire ride on the boat was less than 2 hours.

The first hour down the South Yarra was calm and clearly informative. During the second hour, there were a number of passengers who were totally disinterested in the commemtary and proceeded to converse loudly amongst themselves! It might be an idea to make a comment before departure to be considerate of those who want to enjoy the whole experience!

The tour was informative. The boat was clean. Staff on the boat were friendly and helpful. The ticket booth employee was a grumpy man. But overall the tour was 10/10

Dave and crew were lovely and friendly. The views of Melbourne were awesome and commentary to support it taught us a lot about the city.

The Tour required you to disembark from the boad, wait 15 minutes and then return to the boat to complete. This was not communicated and if was, we would have not taken the tour. The issue is, that their is very little shade and only a small proportion of seating, so if you are with ederly (which we were) it made the experience uncomfortable. Not sure why this detail was not clearly indicated on either the ticket or the webpage. Otherwise everything else was good.

The cruise itself was fantastic. Great captain and commentator. The only criticism would be the organisation before embarking was bad. I had a QR code on my phone. I asked the guide about instructions and she ushered us to berth 2. At no stage did she say I needed to print off a ticket, it also doesn't say that on the email. Nearly missed the cruise because of this , it was a crazy few minutes. Really needs to be improved

Everything went well with the tickets. At the counter for the boat tour, we were registered in the computer and received our boarding pass. The trip was nice. The explanations of the sights were interesting.

The late afternoon cruise was very pleasant and informative. Good value for money. The only glitch was that it was not claer that that the electronic ticket and barcode had to be swapped for a paper ticket which I had to quickly do.

Booking on line was easy. Did the 2 hour tour, was very informative particularly all the history of the river and Melbourne over the years. Really enjoyed the tour around the port area which you really don't get to see except from a boat. Maybe the inclusion of an app or headphones to hear the commentary would be good as had a noisy bunch on board which made hearing a little difficult at times. Really good otherwise.

We did the 2 hour tour and were glad we did both. The river cruise was relaxing and very scenic. The guide was informative. The booking was simple and instructions were very clear.

The tour had a half hour break in the middle that wasn't clearly mentioned before which then put other commitments out as extra time hadn't been allocated. Accidents bought extra ticket but unable to do anything about it as you had to call the company.
