Very enjoyable experience. Our first time using Segway but training given for c30 minutes & excellent advice/guidance provided. Plenty of opportunities for photographs to be taken by guide on our behalf. Guide very helpful, supportive & professional. Would recommend experience to anyone wanting to see Brisbane alongside the river.

The tour itself and tour guides were excellent but I was disappointed to find that there was an international transaction fee of $10.68 added to the cost of the cruise for the four of us.

We had a great city tour of Brisbane. Very friendly and knowledgeable guide. I highly recommend the tour.

Very courteous. Good explanations. Thoroughly enjoyed by all my team of 4 people.
