Relaxing and informative

5.00A nice relaxing experience on the boat. The guides explained history of many of the buildings we were passing in the water. We had a very lovely day which always adds to the experience. They served tea and delicious scones with strawberry and cream. A nice bite. Then we stopped halfway through at a historic hotel/restaurant that makes xxxx beer and that was a nice experience too. We each got a sizable sample portion to drink. It was the first thing I did in Brisbane and the most difficult part of it was finding the proper place to meet. But other than that, I would recommend it.

5.00This river cruise package was a perfect activity for our first visit to the city. The crew was professional and shared interesting information throughout the trip. The luncheon at Breakfast Creek Hotel was very good and included a fun activity on how to tap a beer keg (more difficult than you might think). We definitely recommend this for first time visitors to Brisbane.
