The trip was excellent. The host/driver was very knowledgeable and had a lovely brand of light humour that added to the experience. The assistant was also very attentive and looked after everyone very well. Probably the highlight of our 5-day trip to Adelaide.

The pamphlet says and has photo of Devonshire Tea provided on Sightseeing 45 minute cruise. That is what we did 10, no Devonshire Tea or mention of it. Tore up the pamphlet and will not recommend. Thank you

Value for money. Really enjoyed this trip down the river. Entertaining and informative - would definitely recommend doing this at the start of your trip as the commentary provides good info on places to visit while you’re in the city.

Great introduction to Adelaide’s history and a way to see the river and its surrounds in a comfortable and entertaining way. The boxed Devonshire tea was given out as we boarded and a hot drink brought by one of the staff. It’s a well-run family operation and everyone of all ages onboard seemed to enjoy it. Keep in mind there’s little shade at the Popeye meeting place, the closest toilets seemed to be the Adelaide Railway Station ones and there’s an option to disembark at the Zoo and catch a later Popeye trip back.
