It was such a beautiful experience. Like I never imagined how much history was bestowed along the river. This was truly a wonderful experience and hands down should be explored by everyone who enters this city. From the hospitality from the crew on land and sea to the stories and facts shared. This is a must!!
Had a great time. Beautiful boat and scenery. The narration and history were great. Just the right length of time.
Overall we enjoyed the ride and narration, but they seemed to run out of seating by the time we got inside. Someone finally gave us seats
Embarkation could have went much smoother if they had more than one person scanning tickets considering how hot it was and the line was exceptionally long. Also they should pull people to the side to do pictures because this made for a slow process as well.
Great experience and look forward to do it again someday. Captain was amazing for the 1pm tour. Amazing history of Savannah.
We appreciated the guide’s enthusiasm and hard work. Unfortunately, the stories at each stop were too drawn out, melodramatic and forced. It took away from the guests’ understanding of historical events and beliefs that created Savannah’s culture of hauntings and ghosts. The tour came off as a little “cheesy.” We quietly left in the middle of it.
While not such a visually-stimulating voyage (muddy waters and lots of industry), the crew did a great job of telling the history of Savannah and the geographic significance of the river. The narrator was excellent and really captured our attention. The indoor quarters were very cool which was pleasant on the sweltering day in July. Also the bartender did an excellent job of keeping the cold beverages pouring. The 90 minute trip was just the right amount of time as well. We also enjoyed the photos they took of us as we boarded.
This was a relaxing enjoyable tour. The paddles were for looks only. The guide was remote for the entire boat.
Cruise was good but I had difficulty hearing what the narrator was descr;ib;ing. I often did not know which sie of thee baot he was refering to so I had difficulty understanding what he was describing. Overall a pleasant cruise but several windows were hard to see through.
This was a fu. And informative experience for our family.
