The $1 million homes were so beautiful and also passing by the VOLS stadium and the bridges we took lots of pictures and everyone were so friendly from the waitress to the bartender

Incredible "everything". Great price & quality. I will highly recommend it to anyone. If I'm in Knoxville again, it's automatic.

This wasn’t a “tour”. It was a boat ride with a decent lunch. You go up and down the river, not exactly any site seeing. Then heading back to port, it took 8 attempts to dock…

We had a great time on our 2 hr lunch cruise. The food was surprisingly good, the boat well cared for and pleasant despite the higher wind conditions the day we were there. We would have liked the tour to have been narrated but since passengers are allowed up to the helm we had a great chat with the Captain who shared a bit of river and UT history.

This was very enjoyable. It was a little difficult to find and most of the parking said Ruth Chris parking only, the captain and crew were really great. I couldn’t find anywhere that said what the lunch was going to be but for $33 a person I expected maybe sandwiches. I was pleasantly surprised when lunch was a salad, mashed potatoes, chicken with gravy and cheesecake for dessert. This is such a bargain!
