The cruise was a pleasant experience. The commentary gave a good amount of information. Somehow it was a bit dull and my teen son didn’t enjoy it much. May be it’s not for teen age children.

This was an informative and interesting tour up both directions of the river.
Well worth doing if you are interested in hearing more about Melbourne.

Learning the architecture about the docks and the history..the ride was pleasant. it was on the cooler side but sunny out ..the ship cargo area has great views coming back towards the city ...nothing tour guides can do about the view..one of the historic land marks was spray painted with graffiti ...the life sea aquarium is a better option for this kind of money spent with more to see .

My American friends were fascinated by the difference in each end of the river on two hour tour. From port to green riverbanks

Lots of good views of the Melbourne skyline. The audio could have been louder to be clearer. The weather was nice and we enjoyed the ride as well as the scenery. Learned something about the history of Melbourne.

The cruise takes you upstream and down stream. We found upstream better and the docklands downstream was a bit too long for us
But of course one can sit back and enjoy the day with many pictures to be taken while on the cruise
They offer some drinks and tit bits on the cruise and one can move around d and capture all the sights

I’ve been to Melbourne many times but have never done a river cruise before. On a sunny but cool autumn day it was a fantastic way to relax and enjoy this dynamic city and a little of its history from the water. Highly recommend for good photo ops and a relaxing outing.

Trip down to the port was very interesting. Good commentary. Downriver more interesting than upriver for me
