The buffet lunch was delicious (one of our favorites during this trip) and our server was friendly and attentive. The narration was informative, engaging and witty. The only negative was that the women's restroom was very warm, but the overall experience was very enjoyable. I would recommend the Savannah Riverboat Narrated Harbor Luncheon Cruise during your visit!
I love that you can go to different levels on the boat and you’re not confined to one area! The narration was great and included a lot of fun facts with a splash of comedy. The food was delicious!
The experience was beyond amazing. It was a very informative boat cruise. Richard and Co pilot did an excellent job. Amaya my server was super friendly. The only thing I did not like was the food. Other than that I would and I will be back.
The food was great! Dessert not so much. Banana pudding was runny and the peach cobbler was super sweet and looked like apples. My only negative is having to find a parking spot and pay for it. Staff was very nice and pleasant.
Super fun and unique experience! Was not expecting it to be as fun but it was totally worth it! Must do for Savannah!
The atmosphere and food was great. The staff was very helpful and pleasant. Will definitely do it again and tell people about it.
This excursion is very well organized and executed. We enjoyed all aspects including the food, service, and the narrated river cruise. Would definitely recommend to anyone interested.
The lunch was very good. The only thing was wrong with it, southern food without cornbread.. I enjoyed the history of Savannah on the river. It was a peaceful ride.
Very good tour. The food was very good and service was great. The tour narrator was very informative. This tour was worth the money.
Not much has changed over the years in a paddleboat luncheon. It's a nice venue to see the sites from the river view. There'san opportunity for a professional phot as you board. The narrator was informative and fun. The speaker inside needed to be turned up and add speakers at the front of the boat. The paddle wheel didn't turn, FYI. The food could use some improvement (runny mashed potatoes, cold greens, greasy mac & cheese, sickening-sweet cobbler. The stars were the shrimp & grits and fried chicken.) Our server Deasia, was very good. Alcohol was available for purchase. I didn't see an elevator. AC inside was great. Restrooms were clean. It was a fun experience.
