AI summary of 72 reviews
Travellers consistently praise the friendly, knowledgeable and humorous staff, who make the tour entertaining for all ages, and they frequently highlight the unique experience of seamlessly transitioning from driving through city streets to piloting the vehicle as a boat on the water. The most distinctive feature is that children are given the opportunity to drive the vessel during the water portion, with many reviewers noting this as a memorable highlight, along with the captain's certificate and souvenir items they receive. The most common caveat is that commentary can be difficult to hear at times, particularly from the back of the vehicle or during the river section, and some passengers note that the road portion through the city is brief compared to the water section, with certain sights being visible primarily from one side of the vessel.
How we collect and publish reviews
Where they come from. Our reviews are gathered from independent review sites and from guests who share feedback with us directly after their trip. They come from people who have actually travelled on the tour. Some longer trips are made up of shorter tours we also sell, run back to back — where a review was written about one of those legs, the review says so.
Why some are edited. Many of our guests travel in their second or third language. Where a review is hard to read, we lightly edit spelling, grammar and punctuation, or paraphrase a sentence for clarity. We never change the rating, the meaning or the sentiment, and we never write a review on a guest's behalf.
Reading the originals. Reviews sourced from public review sites appear there in their original form, and can be read in full at their original source at any time.
“Give it a go !!!!”
We really enjoyed it. The staff were brilliant with the children and gave them all a turn to drive, so it's great for kids.
“Fun experience for the family”
The city part is brief, but driving into the water is great fun. Friendly, knowledgeable guide and driver, and the kids got to steer on the water.
“Amazing”
We loved it, thanks to Max and Gerry, though people talking behind us made them hard to hear at times.
“Such fun”
Two trips in one, city and river, with Chris and Katie as awesome guides.
“A good giggle but I want to drive!”
A good giggle with two friendly, safety-minded hosts. My only gripe is the kids got to drive on the water and I didn't.
“Great tour hosts”
Margie and Richie were awesome hosts, full of knowledge and very funny.
