4.00Could not hear what the guide was saying through the speakers on the side of the boat we were sitting, other than that it was a nice boat tour.

4.00Very nice relaxing cruise on the river. Good drinks and staff very friendly. Could not hear sound for narrating trip. Needs to go through an app so you can use headphones.

3.00It’s ok if you’re looking to burn 2hrs. The trip was not what I expected. We saw some nice boathouses and that’s pretty much it. Very immature drinks, not sure any alcohol was present. Hey there early unless you’ll be sitting in the sun the entire trip (shade couches/ grabbed up right at boarding)
Nice boat..mediocre food!

3.00Cruise, sights, staff were great! Food was horrible, drinks were weak and could not hear anything from speaker on top deck.
Peaceful way to enjoy the afternoon on the river.

5.00We brought a group of nearly 20 on the river cruise and it was thoroughly enjoyable! Golf cart assistance was available to help some of our attendees with the ramp down to the dock, and back up again after the cruise. We enjoyed the options for indoor seating or the chance to sit in the sun with some breeze in our hair. The narration provided details about the area and the history that even surprised some of our local gals, while providing a bit of local history for our visiting friends. This was a nice way to spend part of the afternoon after a busy morning of touring the city. Our booking with Viator was easy to make and make changes to within the permitted timeline. I would definitely use their service again.
