The 2-Hour Yarra River Sightseeing Cruise was a fantastic way to see Melbourne from the water. The commentary was informative, the pace was relaxed, and the views along the river, especially of the city skyline, were beautiful. The staff were great; friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout the cruise. The only downside was that the toilet facilities are very outdated and could really use a renovation. Aside from that, it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience and I would definitely recommend it.
