Great guide. Well organised. Reasonable timings. Shame covid ruins cheese tasting fun. But would recommend for a relaxing day. Boat staff service were excellent!

Enjoyed the commentary, provided by the bus driver, pointing out historical sites enroute to the Murray River departure site. Food was great onboard, and the scenery was beautiful.
Karen_P, Apr 2024
Good day out, we enjoyed this trip. Would have liked a bit more time on the boat. Driver very informative.
Grant_W, Apr 2024
Unhurried and able to step away from the daily hustle and bustle of one’s usual daily life.
Good way to see outlying areas.

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.

What a relaxing experience and no driving just sit back and enjoy 😊. Weather was good. Enjoyed the chocolate Melba Factory.

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.

Lovely cruise along the Murray River. Captain was very knowledgeable about history of the boats in the river
