Good cruise along the Brisbane River

Mark_S, Apr 2024

Was a relaxed and very interesting cruise along the Brisbane river. The commentary was full of interesting facts and history along the way.

Excellent Relaxing

Jeffrey_D, Apr 2024

We were well taken cared off the boat ride was comfortable and the crew were amazing. Add to that the sconce tea and coffee was a nice touch.

Beautiful and enjoyable cruise

Natalie_G, Apr 2024

Beautiful cruise, very informative and enjoyable! Staff went above and beyond to ensure a lovely experience for all. The scones were a nice touch for morning tea. Not overcrowded and very relaxed - loved it!!

Olivia_M, Apr 2024

Had an absolute blast on this river cruise, the captain "tiny tim" was really funny and made it very enjoyable.. it was abit drizzly on the day we went but that didn't matter with such great hosts

Plenty to see!

Oliver_B, Apr 2024

A very enjoyable river cruise. The staff were very obliging and the accompanying commentary was informative. The top deck of the boat was under cover and so shaded from the sun.

Enjoyable

Carol_B, Apr 2024

The staff were really friendly, and we enjoyed the scones for morning tea. The commentary was interesting but sometimes we couldn't hear it over the other passengers chatting.

Lovely cruise, be aware that prices are USD

Rachael_D, Mar 2024

Cruise was lovely and I enjoyed listening to the captain. The breeze was nice on a hot day. The prices should state it is in USD. I'm from Australia and was expecting to pay $68.90 then had $111.00 taken from my bank.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Hi they are not USD the price it is $49 on our direct website agents like trip adviser sometimes charge a booking fee. That still does not sound right. Please check your confirmation to see what you paid for then contact Trip Adviser and give us a call please if you can not resolve it. Kind regards River City Cruises

Not happy

Michelle_S, Mar 2024

We missed the cruise as was unable to locate where it left from. When contacting the mobile number & advising what had happened I was told that I couldn't be refunded. It was extremely disappointing.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

We are sorry you missed your booking. We had 63 others that all made it there on time using the instructions and map given. Unfortunately missing the booking that close to departure time does not warrant a refund. We suggest to read the address properly and allow plenty of time for parking or traffic and to be ready for boarding minimum 15 min prior to departure. Turning up at 12:50pm for 12:30 departure is essentially turning up 35 minutes late for a reserved seat.

Lovely River Ride

Tangela_S, Mar 2024

awesome and relaxing ride on the river. the commentary was very interesting. the views were very awesome

Tight on time - great way to see Brisbane!

Elizabeth_W, Mar 2024

We were only in Brisbane via cruise ship for a very short day and the river cruise was a great way to see the city and get a sense of how beautiful it truly is. We really enjoyed it.

Fantastic

Gary_M, Mar 2024

Stuart_W, Mar 2024

Peaceful cruise with good commentary.

George_Z, Feb 2024

The amazing riverside developments as well as the historical sites. Great crew. Good view from all parts of the boat.

Enjoyable River Cruise

John_B, Feb 2024

An easy, relaxing way to see and learn about the City of Brisbane, including its interesting history. A highly recommended river cruise.

Love is in the Air

Brenden_F, Feb 2024

This was our first Valentine's Day as a Couple so I wanted to make it a memorable one. She had no idea where we were going or what I had planned for her and when she arrived at the boat she was blown away and was very keen. Once on board we took the lower back deck seats and started our Journey up the Brisbane River. By the end, we both enjoyed it so much and she was very thankful for taking her on this magical boat trip up the Brisbane River. 10/10 Highley Recommends it

A very relaxing and...

Sarah_D, Feb 2024

A very relaxing and informative cruise. The crew were all very friendly. The morning tea of scones jam and cream were quite enjoyable. Would definitely recommend this cruise.

Great cruise

Bonnie_V, Feb 2024

Good way to learn about Brisbane and see the sites in a limited amount of time. Nice and relaxed, great information shared

Worth the time and money.

HENDRIK_E, Feb 2024

Seamless checkin and boarding of Boat. Very friendly and helpful Crew. Informative and relevant Public commentary in good English presented at a comfortable pace, not to much.

Enjoyable 90 minutes.

Phil_C, Jan 2024

Great relaxing way to see Brisbane. Very informative commentary on the key landmarks. Drinks available to purchase and at reasonable prices.

Good cruise & informative

Marian_O, Dec 2023

I would have liked more narrative about the history of Brisbane & the areas we passed along the cruise. It was very distracting when the second group came on board & sat on the top deck- they were loud & made it difficult to hear the commentary . But all in all a good cruise.
