it was ok

i liked the trip in general. the comentator was good and interesting with all the facts on the river. it was very interesting to know about all the homes. the only thing i would recomend is for him to use the speaker system instead of speaking to the group out loud . i would like to do it again but i would also like to see a longer tour.

The service was ok. I bought the tickets online, but they don't tell you that the boat doesn't leave if there isn't at least 10 people going on the tour. I got to the booth in Las Olas and the man says they don't have enough people to leave and told us to wait around. My advice is to purchase your tickets at the booth. Thankfully there was just enough people who decided to go on the tour, a total of 12. The tour itself wasn't so bad, especially since the boat show was also taking place at that time. We also saw an Obama sailboat, it was pretty hot looking!!! They take your picture when you board and you have the option of purchasing a picture w/ keychain ($10). Take extra on board cash if you plan on buying a drink in addition to the one thats included or photo, no credit/debit card purchases. The chairs on the boat are cheap plastic, I feel they could do better than some dollar store chairs, with all the money they make from touring.

Interesting & Fun

The Captain's narration provided interesting information with good humor, and the staff were helpful and good natured. The hour and a half trip was smooth and, even in the intense heat of July, relaxing and enjoyable. We would highly recommend this trip and hope to do it again when we visit.

Barbara was a great narrator and the whole crew was friendly and nice. We had a good time and would recommend it to our friends when visiting Ft. Lauderdale.

Jaw dropping and Funny

This is my second trip on the boat and it was just fantastic. The boat only had about 12 people on this trip so the guide came up to the top to give us a more personal tour of the huge mansions and all the cool sites. He was very funny and we got to learn alot. I highly would recommend this trip!

Very good but not as good as a local competitor

We enjoyed Riverfront's cruise on the Fort Lauderdale River. We'd previously been on a Fort Lauderdale river cruise with another cruise line and while Riverfront was very good, the other cruise line was better for the following reasons: 1) The other cruise line's speaker/guide did not take a break during the cruise, The Riverfront speaker/guide took two breaks of about ten to fifteen minutes each and during the breaks we sort of lost interest in the tour since we had no idea of what we were seeing. 2) While the other cruise line's tour was 1 1/2 hours, as was Riverfront's, the other cruise line's tour seemed much longer. I think Riverfront's speaker/guide held our attention for a shorter period of time Please don't get me wrong, Riverfront's tour was very good but we enjoyed the other cruise better.

worth the trip

If you enjoy lavish homes and appreciate boats be sure to take the tour. You won't be dissappointed. I'm an avid boater and yacht owner however some of these boats make mine look like a dingy. Have fun!
