5.00The Highlights of Melbourne Cruise is such a lovely and relaxing way to see Melbourne from the comfort of a river boat. The commentary was interesting, clear and easy to follow. The river boat had many facilities to add to the experience, including tea, coffee, food and drinks. The on board toilets were immaculate. Staff were very helpful. Highly recommended!
Nice cruise

2.00No organisation with the tickets or seating. Commentary didn't align withe the subjects. Too many people, not enough seats. Only going one hour each way from the dock meant you never saw more than buildings. Very disappointing.
