    Took a midweek daytime tour, 2 hours return in total. Very enjoyable, I learned a lot of things about Melbourne and saw it from angles you normally don’t get to see. The driver was very informative and the whole experience was very worthwhile. I particularly enjoyed travelling near the port and seeing the industrial areas. Standing on the back deck was terrific, particularly passing under the low bridges. Highly recommended!

    It's a very good experience to try in Melbourne. One of the best way to see the face of the city from Yarra River. It's was basic trip experience with tea and coffee on board. The view of the river front-line is quite good. After the cruise has passed the low bridge area, people are allowed move around inside the boat and can go behind the deck to get better views.

    We'd originally booked for Thursday evening to celebrate our anniversary but had to cancel a few days before. They were more than happy to change our booking to Friday (last night). The whole evening was amazing. We boarded right on time and shown to our table. We were immediately offered sparkling wine to drink. The staff were attentive and friendly and the food was really good. In fact, the steak was perfect. The river is beautiful and we wondered why we've never done this before. It's an evening we highly recommend and will come again. Excellent value for money.

    We celebrated our anniversary last night on the Sunday dinner cruise. It was wonderful. Staff greets you with a smile, immediately asks you what you want to drink (no waiting around), have some chit chat, our initial waitress mentioned our special night, the captain gave us cruisers a nice welcoming speech. We always decorate our own table (they let you). We have been on this dinner cruise several times over the years, and it's always 5-star treatment and food. Eye Fillet Steak was so yummy, competes with the best at the Crown Casino. Bottomless cup is a bonus, too. A surprise anniversary cake! Special touches like this makes the night. Others celebrated birthdays and anniversaries, too. Great night.
