A lovely family run cruise with great service. Lovely Aussie sense of humour in the commentary. Do this when first in Adelaide- gives you a great introduction to the city.

We spent a very pleasant hour on the beautiful Torrens River, enjoying views of the reflected buildings in the sparkling water. A very pleasant guide too.

The captain and his mate were Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the river highlights and history. They were also great ambassadors for other others of interest in Adelaide and surrounds. I have to use a walker for mobility, they were extremely supportive and kind.
