4.00The history information both sides of the river was interesting. Plenty of complimentary tea, coffee and scones with cream and jam. Lunch at Plough Inn, nice selection, plenty on the plate and cold drinks refreshing.
Fantastic!

5.00We booked a river cruise as a way to see Brisbane from the river. The cruise also included a great lunch and a ride on the Brisbane Wheel. We enjoyed all three and would highly recommend this cruise for anyone visiting Brisbane!

5.00The place to start your adventure is easy to find. The team on the boat are friendly and helpful. While you go down on the Brisbane River, you are hearing interesting things about the river. When returning to the starting point, you head to the plough inn where you have lunch. After that you have a relaxing time looking at the sites of Brisbane on the channel 7 wheel at southbank

5.00Started with an informative cruise down the river. Many points of interest were pointed out. Refreshments were served but we didn’t want to miss anything to get up and take any. We sat up on top in a covered open air area. I believe an air conditioned space was in h th e first level. After 1.5 hours down the river and back, we were given vouchers to ride the Wheel of Brisbane which was a short walk from the pier. I think we got four revolutions and had great views! Then another short walk to The Plough Inn for which we also had vouchers. We had pizza, fish and chips, and a burger, all which were delicious. Highly recommend this excursion. It was a very good deal for the money.
Different way to explore the Brisbane river/ Southbank area both via water and aerial views 😊

4.00Great way to relax with friends and explore the Brisbane river/ Southbank area both via water and aerial views 😊. Relaxing river cruise followed by a meal at the Ploughmans inn and topped off with stunning aerial views via the Brisbane eye … if you’re looking for a different way to see Brisbane, thus us definitely one way to go!!
Good up to a point!

3.00The cruise was good, we enjoyed the ride on the Wheel, but then when we arrived at the Plough Inn we were told quite abruptly that we should have been there at 12.30 and they had given our table away. This was about 1.00 pm when we arrived. At no time were we told we needed to go straight to the Plough Inn for a set time, in fact at boarding I queried the guy handing out the tickets how it worked, and were told we could go th the Wheel and Plough Inn whenever we wanted, as long as it was on the same day as the cruise. Eventually a table was found for us at Plough Inn but we were left with no instructions how to order, and when I went to the counter to order, the menu we were shown on the cruise wasn't available, and the order taker just called a few dishes out to me, as she didn't have a menu there. I know there were more choices than what she gave me, but just ordered off the limited few choices she offered. The chicken Caesar Salad was nice, but I don't think it was the one on our menu we were shown on the boat. I think if we had been told we had a reservation for 12.30 and had the reserved table we would probably have been given a menu and better service so it probably isn't the fault of the Plough Inn. Please inform your guests properly if they have a set time for dining as part of the Combo pass! We would happily have gone straight there if we had known.
Great service

5.00This was more than I expected. A great way to see the layout of the city and learn some history of the area and river. The lunch was good value for money and the Brisbane wheel was something I wouldn't have tried without the deal.
Great value
