Disappointing

1.00Guide was way too chatty and quite annoying. Cruise was relaxing but lunch was not very good. I would never book with this company again.

3.00Graham was an amazing tour guide. He was very knowledgeable about the areas we travelled through and his light hearted humour made for a lovely day. Unfortunately the lunch was a let down on the river cruise. I had the fish and chips and ended up with a plate full of burnt, oily batter with little bits of dry fish here and there, others at our table felt equally let down give what we paid.
Tired

3.00View from Mt. Lofty provides a sense of Adelaide layout, but not spectacular. River boat is tired and due for retrofit. Many river views obscured by trees along riverbank. Lunch was good and plentiful. Hahndorf typical small tourist trap. Karen our guide was informative but an impatient driver.

4.00Pleasant easy paced day trip which gives you a sense of the town and countryside around. Guide on coach was great. The guide on the boat was very knowledgeable but talked too much.
Mount Lofty, Hahndorf & Beeremberg great

3.00Mount Lofty was an amazing site with incredible views. The Captain Proud cruise was quite disappointing. The vehicle requires EXTENSIVE repair. Very old and tired and surprised it passed tourist standards. Food was lovely and staff were very attentive and hospitable, but the facilities were very poor. The toilet seat in the ladies toilet wasn't even attached! Scenery was quite boring on this stretch of the river. We would have preferred longer in Hahndorf and strawberry farm. Our driver, Karen, was great, patient and very efficient.

4.00As it was school holidays there were a few kids. Well behaved but maybe not everyone's cuppa. Apart from them, an older crowd but several solo travelkers
A wonderful and relaxing day out.

5.00This was an amazing day. The bus driver was so knowledgeable and adapted information along the way to the guests on board. Was not just a drive to the paddle boat it was informative and picturesque. The cruise itself was relaxing with great staff on board. The food was quality, fresh and hot. Good options to choose from. Would highly recommend this day out to anyone

4.00Our tour guide was excellent. He went above and beyond to accommodate everyone. Food on the paddle boat was not good. Cruise along the river was lovely. Our stops on land were great.
