I went on the River City Cruise about three weeks ago and it was the perfect introduction to Brisbane. The 1.5-hour tour on the MV Neptune is just the right length. The live commentary was fantastic—I learned so much about the Story Bridge, the Kangaroo Point Cliffs, and even some of the history behind the 'homes of the rich and famous' along the river. The morning tea (scones, jam, and cream) was a lovely touch and felt very classic. It’s a relaxing, smooth ride and the staff were incredibly friendly. If you want to see the city skyline from the best possible angle, this is it!

Great 2 hour cruise, my beautiful 80 yr old Mother had the best time, Staff couldn't be more welcoming, took heaps of photos for us, it's a great way to get to know Brissy, and see how the wealthy live 🙄 there needed to be more snacks for 50 a head though 👌🏻

We had so much fun!! Beautiful sights, and the lights on the river were gorgeous! We got a little charcuterie board and drinks are very reasonably priced. Music, good atmosphere, lovely staff, plenty of seating inside & outside. Highly recommended!

Excellent cruise with great audio guidance of the area. Relaxed upper deck with great views and included free coffee and scones. Really good value 2 hour excursion that I'd highly recommend.
