Too Expensive for what it was
Todd_E
, Sep 2021
I thought it was very nice although very expensive for what it was . They said the cruise would be 2.5 hours to 3 hours and we were done in two hours.
They should at least give a glass of wine or champagne customary for $150.00 per person. Why would they not go up the north ranch of the river and I thought it would have been a narrated architecture tour.
Disappointed

Great cruise, great staff

, Aug 2021
The boat was very comfortable, staff were very attentive, the food was good, and the drinks were very well made. The route was great for seeing the downtown area at night. The music was a bit loud for our liking (no one was dancing for most of the cruise), but the song selection was great.
AWESOME

OK in nice weather but but poor value
ELIZABETHU_S
, Jul 2021
I was a beautiful night which made it an OK experience. VERY pricy. Empty table by the window-had to ask MULTIPLE times if we could move even after boat cast off. Food edible but not fabulous. Dessert was mini buffet of dried out cake squares. I wouldn’t do it again. I Would do a different boat ride and dinner at a nice restaurant(There are many) over looking the river in the future.

Amazing Tour

Bad directions!!!
Senia_L
, May 2021
We never made it!!! The introductions that were written for people to find the meeting location were wrong!!!! False advertising to get you to buy with them! The website saids free cancellation the whole way on there website until you hit the purchase button and you get a message that saids...not refundable and no cancellations. When we finally got to the dock, we see the boat still sitting on the dock and they say sorry, but the boat already left! Yet, it was still there. Save your money!!!!!! Our one and only chance to have done a dinner cruise gone! Gifted them over $350 of our hard earned money and still had to go out to dinner somewhere else. No money spent. They have no remorse and don’t even offer at least some incentive for you to book again with them.
