Entertaining, educational, and a lovely cruise

The tour guide and skipper of the boat told many stories of the early days of Melbourne, and was extremely entertaining. Loved hearing the history, and the quirky stories. It's also a very beautiful trip along the river.

Best day in Melbourne

What a fabulous morning with Stef giving an incredible insight into the history of not only the Yarra River and its bridges but also so much about Melbourne. His personal account of the affects of the pandemic on the city, the toll it took and the slow recovery that continues was heartwarming. He was a wealth of information, very friendly and a true professional. Thank you Stef.

A very good two hour cruise on the Yarra

Lovely cruise on the Yarra with a personable captain. The commentary was just right—interesting, not too much. Enjoyed the two hours aboard the Empress.

Relaxing, great fun and educational

Best part of moving to the country, is coming back to Melbourne as a tourist. A must for visitors and locals. Amazing to see Melbourne and all it offers from the water.
