Enjoyable

This is a cruise we've wanted to do for many years. It was great to see some iconic Melbourne sights from the river. We sat out the back of the boat for a better view but was very squishy when alot of people came out.
Great way to see Melbourne

Such a great way to see Melbourne!!! Boats are comfortable, however surprised that hardly anyone was wearing a mask.
Great way to see some of the sights when you don’t have a lot of time. Able to sit inside the boat, or able to sit at the rear in the open however there’s only very limited seating outside.
The boat commentary was a highlight!

A very relaxing trip down the Yarra. Our guide was very informative and interesting as well as humorous. I learned a lot about Melbourne and its history I didn't know. A great way to see a different perspective of Melbourne. My only complaint is that the boat is not geared for taking photos. Too many obstacles.
Essential Must Do for Visitors

It was great to see Melbourne from the river and we enjoyed the commentary which was a mixture of fun facts, history, and bad jokes delivered professionally and with the right amount of energy. The boat was clean and tidy (though having the radio on when the commentary finished made it harder to talk in our group).
There was a lot of information about the history of the river, the bridges over it, and the sights along the way.
A must do for visitors to Melbourne.

My family was visiting from PNG and it was a beautiful day and they really enjoyed the river cruise. The crises went passed many iconic places such as MCG, Rod Laver Area, Royal Botanical Gardens, AAMI Park, great atmosphere on the boat, nice music, the commentary was very educational and enjoyable.
Nice trip

The cruise was nice, but no tea or coffee was served as they said it would be, but other than that it was good!
Good for a different perspective of the city

I am a local and took an overseas friend with my family to do this cruise. Firstly the vessel was 15 minutes late arriving and there was no explanation of apology. Then, there seemed to be issues trying to moor the vessel to the wharf and the crew had a few attempts. Water flow was no the cause of this. From my perspective it did not create a good impression to tourists observing. The commentary covered off a lot of facts about Melbourne, the river and bridges - and was very accurate (I am well versed in the local history). So well done. I would suggest a little more enthusiasm in the dialogue. I trust MRC you will take this on board (pun intended) for improvement to showcase our wonderful city.
