Great narration about sights along the way. Got some awesome pictures of the Queensland traditional houses on the shore. Hard to hear on the upper deck but partially due to loud patrons visiting with each other.

Very well organised and punctual tour. Excellent commentary on the history of certain sites along the river. Nice selection of beers at the bar. Very friendly and attentive staff - checked throughout whether we were comfortable during the trip. More pastries would have been welcome…

It is a very relaxing trip and we are given as much information as they can on sites along the river. They provide tea or coffee and a cream and jam scone. Safety instructions are very thorough and it is a well run trip.

This was a very pleasant experience. Very relaxing and informative. So much to see along the Brisbane river. Scones were delicious.

The experience was pretty ordinary. Old, tired boat and crowded. Self serve morning tea, no service and similar to self serve tea/coffee facility at a garage while waiting to have tyres fitted. Plus a group of women on a hen's outing full of wine and talking so loud so you couldn't hear the commentary. '

I have been on this cruise many times, both with lunch option and without, and have always enjoyed it. I have recommended it to others and taken friends and family. I was disappointed this time. Morning tea consisted of the choice of scones or scones (so no choice) and pots of premade tea and coffee with no hot water so you could not make it to taste. On previous cruises there has been a plentiful choice of yummy cakes to choose from and more drink options. The commentary was Very loud and distorted through the speakers, and the staff did not seem to want to be there. For $49 it was not worth the price at all. You can spend 50c and ride the City Cat around and then afford a lovely lunch somewhere. I won't be recommending this trip, or going on it again myself, which makes me sad as I have always enjoyed it in the past.

A nice cruise on a very hot day with a strong breeze to cool us down. Tea or coffee, and scones provided. Soft drinks or alcohol can be purchased from on board bar. Toilets on board boat. Commentary is given on local landmarks and history. Even though it was windy the river wasn't too choppy so no need to worry about motion sickness! Our cruise was more like an hour and three quarters but was very enjoyable. We booked through Headout, and when we got to the pontoon to board there was a sign saying that Headout weren't a registered reseller of River City Cruises and they couldn't honour tickets bought through them and we had been scammed. Fortunately when boarding our names were on the list and thankfully we were allowed on. Just beware to buy through River City Cruises as if you don't you may be refused entry.

A very relaxing and informative cruise. The commentary was excellent, and there were plenty of scones with jam and cream to go around for morning tea. A lovely way to see Brisbane and surrounds.
