An enjoyable, informative cruise, staff very friendly and efficient. Had our 3 year old grandson with us and he loved being able to go up front and sit in the drivers seat, wear the captains hat and sound the horn before the cruise started.

This trip was fabulous, the boat was lovely, clean and comfortable. The staff were very courteous and the Captain was an extremely informative guide. Highly recommend this experience

Very pleasant and informative. Things you wouldn't hear anywhere else. Great to support a long standing local service

Knowledgeable guide, very relaxing. My overseas visitor and myself really enjoyed it.

Really enjoyed our trip up and down river on popeye.
