We had so much fun!
Jimbo was great! He was very interactive and did a great job telling us all about nashvilles history!

Fun for Tourists Looking to Do it All
Nice cruise, but all the tour information for the city side was given on the opposite side of the boat before the turnaround. So after the turn around, those nos bowing the city had to remember the facts. Purchasing the drinks was a bit of a bottle neck.

September Delight
The river bowl cruise was delightful. It was a hot day however the breeze was cool and the historical information was intriguing. I learned a lot about Nashville. I didn’t know. And the musical talent that was on the river boat was very entertaining.
