Lovely boat tour and the perfect amount of time. Might have liked a bit more narration about the city, but still lovely and worthwhile.

Great to hear about the history behind the growth of the urbanisation of the river and the how much the river was used for industrialisation way back when!

Great way to see the city from the river, amazing photo opportunities and some interesting information given by the guide. I did the morning tea version so had a couple of scones and some coffee while I sat upstairs and enjoyed the view.
