5.00I really enjoyed this river boat cruise. Safe to say it was a highlight of my Savannah trip! I enjoyed the luncheon, being on the river, and the information learned from our guide. Thank you!
A must do in Savannah

5.00A very Savannah experience on the Georgia Queen Riverboat Cruise. Ask for a table near the window at least in the main dining room. There were 10 of us and originally assigned to like a corner room area w/o a window. They were nice to move us to the center of the DR near the food. Great service, many drink choices! Hard to hear the narration in the DR but clear when you’re on the deck. Fun & Enjoyable. Highly recommended.
Good times

4.00Was able to find parking on River Street, which I would recommend locating first. The food was really good, which I would recommend a cruise with a meal instead of only a cruise.
Fun Saturday

5.00Get on the boat earlier than the departure time to give yourself time to eat before the cruise starts. The captain/narrator was amazing! He was very passionate about his city and full of amazing and entertaining stories and information. The food selection was good and plentiful and the service was great! Definitely worth the experience!
