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.

Had a wonderful and peaceful experience with river tours. It was a one and half hours morning tea river cruise trip, very friendly staff and informative. About 30 people were there. Thank you so much for the experience given.

A last minute decision to book a morning cruise with no regrets! It was a great way to fill in the morning and see the sights from a leisurely cruise along the northern reaches from Southbank to Breakfast Creek and return. Morning tea of scones, tea and coffee was included.
