3.00Tour guide was just ok, not really friendly and informative. Just necessary details given, I don't remember him telling me his name. He was talking lots to the guests sitting behind him. Mannum was a bit dull as most of the shops were closed.

5.00This was an absolutely fantastic day! We travelled on a super comfortable coach and Roger was a wonderful, funny and informative coach captain. The river cruise was beautiful, the food was delicious and it was the loveliest atmosphere. Sightseeing on the way home and the stop at Melba’s topped off a perfect day. I can’t recommend this experience enough. 10/10

5.00We were in Adelaide for Gather Round & decided to do this tour with our teen boys to see the sights. We loved it - our driver/guide was a delight & full of knowledge & jokes to keep us entertained. The Proud Mary cruise was great - the staff were so friendly & food was delicious. I would highly recommend.

5.00Our trip to the Murray was just perfect. From the moment we set off, winding through the picturesque Adelaide Hills,, then, u pon reaching Mannum, we embarked on a Fabulous fun cruise on the Proud Mary, and as we ate lunch, the contrasting landscape unfolded around us. Highly recommended experience. A must do. Proud Mary offers 2 & 5 day cruisers as well, so you can experience so much more, eg. the cliffs at Sunset, & fish.
