    I was very pleased with the service. My partner and I have enjoyed the river trip with the interesting, and sometimes funny, anecdotes of the lovely gentleman that entertained us. There is alcohol (wine, prosecco and much more), snacks and cake available on board. Staff members have been very proactive, helpful when needed and smiley. I have been told they also offer other events on board, on special occasions. Their website is well some and regularly updated so keep an eye for events to come. I highly recommend River Torrens Popeye Cruise if you are visiting Adelaide.

    Good little cruise. Especially with kids, not too long. We weren't in Adelaide for long so it was good to see some of the landmarks. The guide was fantastic,
