5.00Our 4 hr morning cruise was canceled and a 2 and a half hour cruise was substituted. According to the Tamar cruise company they have a maintainance issues that needs to be done. The office just refunded me some money before we boarded. The staff and crew's are very polite and professional. We thoroughly enjoyed the cruise experience. The cruise started on time and we had a very good commentary. The afternoon tea was sufficient. The food was excellent Lisa looked after us very well. We recommend this cruise to all to experience.
Disorganised, overcrowded, expensive.

2.00This tour was: • disorganised. Our ticket gave the Launceston Tennis Club as the meeting point prior to departure. I did not receive a response to my email of the previous day until after we had set out for the meeting point. When we rushed to the correct meeting place after receiving an SMS from the tour operator, no apology was offered. • overcrowded. Due to overbooking some passengers had to stand for the duration of the cruise - four hours. • activities. The wine tasting is not informative but only an excuse for a few drinks. Lunch is a pile of sandwiches although some passengers did receive their requested optional meals. Save your money and only go on a short cruise which includes the impressive Cataract Gorge and the Batman Bridge.

5.00The boat was well laid out and comfortable. Callum gave an informative commentary sprinkled with fun facts. The two other staff on board were friendly and attentive, and kept the brewed coffee topped up! Morning tea and lunch were great. A lovely way to spend 4 hours!
