Cruises are generally fun and informative. The narration was pretty good. This cruise did not have enough places to sit, and in some places you could not hear the narrator. Be careful how you purchase your ticket...there are places in Savannah you can get coupons for these tours. Be sure you can apply the coupon before you purchase.

Great narrator! Great history! Relaxing! The actual Scenery is not very interesting- very industrial.

I guess I was expecting to see beautiful sights on this river tour, but most of what you see once you get past the busy riverfront area is, frankly, ugly. The young narrator was very knowledgable and excited to share what he knew but droned on for too long and in too much detail for anyone but real history buffs with a specific interest in the Civil War. Wish we had taken the hour and a half to do something different.

Well narrated 1.5 hour tour. Very informative on the history of the river and Savannah. Top deck is the way to go especially in November, temp was right around 70. We did not eat lunch but picked up some popcorn and water. Overall it was a nice experience.

Overall, the experience of being on the river was a blast. The captain was pretty funny and insightful when it came to the history of the river. The food and drinks were almost as good as the views from the side of the boat.

Good food and prices. Clean. Excellent information about the area. Staff friendly. I wish all the bottom was clear window.
