Very good experience. I thought it was fun and enjoyable and something worthwhile to do for people who like cruises

Upstream tour interesting, downstream not so. A little boring to be honest but that's Melbourne. The trip was fine, staff good, service good. Seats on the boat uncomfortable and angles towards the windows.

The tour was only 1 hour instead of the 2 hours advertised. Explanation of high tide not enough. Felt short changed.

The cruise was pleasant and informative. They played a recording as you floated down the river with information about the surrounding area and landmarks.

Nice to see the city from a different place. The buildings are impresive and diverse. Worth the time.

The cruise was a good way to see Melbourne and get a different perspective of the city. The commentary was informative and interesting

Thoroughly enjoyed this cruise. I got to see many sites of Melbourne and learned alot about the history and what and who shaped Melbourne into the wonderfully amazing vibrant city that it is today.

We had high tide and could only go the boring direction. Would like to have had more info about the downtown buildings. Comfortable seats

The Highlights of Melbourne Cruise is such a lovely and relaxing way to see Melbourne from the comfort of a river boat. The commentary was interesting, clear and easy to follow. The river boat had many facilities to add to the experience, including tea, coffee, food and drinks. The on board toilets were immaculate. Staff were very helpful. Highly recommended!

Fantastic couple of hours on the Yara with the Highlights of Melbourne Cruise. Brilliant way up and down stream to see a lot that Melbourne has to offer from a different perspective. Greatly informed all the way and just a nice relaxing afternoon with a beer to enjoy.
