Very good commentary...

Was a lovely afternoon boatride, nice and leisurely (so no seasickness like I expected)!
The crew was very efficient at their jobs and friendly too. The bar was fully stocked. The background music was soft, not in competition with the commentary which was informative and witty too.
Those we picked up after their lunch said they enjoyed it immensely and the food was wonderful. Give it a go, you won't be sorry!

The brilliant commentary.
The young people on board who served morning tea.👏🏻👏🏻
My daughter, adult granddaughter and grandson and myself enjoyed the 90 minute trip. A short shower of rain 🌧 passed quickly and didn’t detract from our experience. Thank you..

Tour guide was very knowledgeable on the history of Brisbane and sights along the river. It was windy and a bit rainy the day we went and the covered downstairs room was very comfortable, like a mini cafe with licensed bar at the end.
A Must when I’m visiting Brisbane

Relaxing cruise on the brisbane river with informative commentary. Scones were yummy but dissapointed only instant coffee.
Response from Host , Apr. 2022
Hi there Anne and thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback we really appreciate it. Anyone that has lined up behind 3 or 4 people knows how long it takes to get a Barista coffee and unfortunately you would probably have finished the cruise before we could make coffee for 50 odd patrons. Also the morning tea is complimentry...you don't get this on the other cruises.
Thanks again for your feedback. Best regards
Fantastic river cruise

Never having done this before it was well planned to enable visitors to watch the scenery go by with enough dialogue to be interesting!

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
