5.00Great tour great information. Maybe 20 minutes longer than it needed to be. We tried to book morning tour but couldn’t, also tried to book via phone and communication wasn’t direct with company which would have been preferred

5.00Friendly attentive staff, pleasant short river trip. Commentary interesting and informative-plenty enough to keep our interest as we also wanted to enjoy the experience without a full on history lecture. Fully stocked bar -( pay ) Included in the price was a selection of afternoon tea sweet pastries/buns. Tea/coffee, nothing special but I thought it was a good value trip and would happily do it again if I had the opportunity. P.s. The boarding point was right by the state library. We got there very early, and went in to their cafe to wait, lovely, quiet, air conditioned cafe overlooking the river, so we could see our boat coming in to moor.
Lovely afternoon
