Was a good informative cruise & staff were friendly.
Friendly admin staff and excellent Captain and crew. Entertaining and knowledgeable guide made the cruise most enjoyable. Would recommend to anyone. Thanks Lex and crew
The staff are all friendly and helpful. Captain Lex is a pro as a skipper and Peter the deck hand cares well for everyone and gives an entertaining, informative narrative during the tour. As a proud native born Melburnian ( don't let his accent fool you) his narrative is peppered with local insight. Brilliant for a tour guide
Very good trip. You get to see and know about the city and it's history. Also the view is breathtaking
This was a very nice trip with friendly staff. Plenty of outside seating as well as inside for when it got a bit chilly. Great views of Melbourne and the guide provided a lot of information as we went.
Very good value for money. We had a great cruise and it was so interesting seeing iconic Melbourne landmarks lit up at night from the Yarra River.
One of the best methods to explore the city. Great river cruise. The seating was basic. We saw some bridges, buildings, vessels and containers. The relevant commentaries were provided. Relaxing journey. Nice staffs. Free tea or coffee. However, outside seats were limited.
The large boat, which is advertised on their website, is not the boat we went on. The boat was half the size and very rundown. I specifically chose this cruise, as it departed from Number 2 wharf, which was not a long walk from the tram. When I arrived I was told that the large boat was having work done to it, and the small boat was on Number 6 wharf, a very long walk all the way to the end of the walkway. I asked if they had any transport to number 6 and the answer was no. Very rundown, they advertise they have a bar, there was no bar, they advertise they are 5 star, I would rate it 1 star. Another cruise company cruised past us, and I knew that I had chosen the wrong cruise company straight away. There is a lift from the street but then a large set of stairs, about 30, to get down to the wharf. No facilities for disabled access.
Great little relaxing cruises The skipper very knowledgeable Staff friendly and approachable Clean relaxed atmosphere Gives a little insight of the Yarra
Nice experience, knowledgeable guide cum cruise captain explaining different spots along the Yarra river. Its a perfect 60 min ride on a beautiful river front
