worth the trip
Thu, Aug 13  11:00 AM jasonr Male 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Unspecified
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!

This is great fun and incredibly interesting activ

Everything was was good, even the on board officer/comedian. The wealth of the homes and then findingout the history of the home was great. The could easily be the vest value in the greater Miami/Ft..Lauderdale area.

SIT BACK AND RELAX

The "Good"---Take the Riverfront tour and bring your sunscreen! It's a nice, relaxing ride....not quite long enough to plan your whole day around, but well worth the price. Daytime tours are sun-filled, so bring water! The crew is nice and the Captain is knowledgeable, however, if you are so busy talking to other passengers, you'll miss the humor the Captain relates in his tour narration. Paying attention is half the fun! Just feet away from the ship are good, outdoor eateries, but food and drink are also available on board. Again, if you pay attention to the narration, you'll have the opportunity to win a free drink with a guessing game. My tour was on Wednesday at half-price, with drinks not included but tours with included drinks are also available for a few dollars more, without breaking the bank! Either way, it's fun. The "Bad"---Know where you are going when you drive to the boat! This location is not easy to find. Your can park on either side of the river but you'll take a hike if you choose the side near the jail. Bring a good pair of sneakers and have have plenty of change on hand for parking meters! If you park on the same side of the river as the tour is located, there is a parking deck but bring a hand-held GPS unit to get you to the ticket booth! All-in-all, it's a good time for all. Bring a few dollars to tip the crew and have a good, digital camera in hand and ready to use. Say thanks to the Captain! Remember, don't be sooooo busy talking that you miss the narration and keep in mind that others will miss what is said because you are talking! As an added bonus, if you have some free time, watch how long it takes for the train to come across the bridge once the warning sounds and the bridge lowers! Hint, bring a deck of cards or a scrabble board while waiting for the train!

misleading advertising
Sun, Mar 8  5:00 PM JPUNZAK Female 70+ Unspecified Unspecified
Trip just 1 hr; not the 1 1/2 hour advertised. Free beverages is just one drink (wine, beer or soda) need to pay for extras. No free snacks The boat ride was very enjoyable as was the tour. There seems to be other boat tour companies that offer longer ride at same price. The man at the ticketing booth was not courteous--insisted on me giving the paper that I had written down the confirmation # on. I did not have a pre-printed e-confirmation. So, even though the trip was very pleasurable; my opinion of this tour company is not.

Could be better

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.

Nice way to spend 90 minutes

I enjoyed the riverfront cruise. I think it was the perfect balance between tour and a nice afternoon on the water. The crew was friendly and the experience was just great. The only thing I didnt like was having to line up 30 minutes in advance. Other than that, I would recommend this to anyone local or visitor that would like a nice inexpensive way to see the sites of the Fort Lauderdale intercoastal waterways.

beautiful, well worth the cost
Sun, Nov 2, 08   12:30 PM favor4me Female 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Other
The cruise was absolutely beautiful. The boat had great views from every area . You could sit topside in the sunny breeze or downstairs in the airconditioned lounge. The crew was friendly and professional. The announcer/captain was funny and informative. Overall a great experience for the whole family. Great bartender and great drinks, especially the free one they give you with ticket purchase. The ticket booth was a little hard to find and parking is expensive but you get your money's worth. A definite activity for your next vacation.

Enjoyable cruise on the Inner Coastal Waterway
Tue, Apr 8, 08   10:30 AM rleewarner Male 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Other
We took the first a.m. cruise on 4/8/08, and it was a very enjoyable time. The crew was congenial, and the narration interesting. Having to throw away our half-full cups of coffee bottled water before boarding was a little annoying. I understand their need to make a buck, still it's annoying. I did note that the Ft. Lauderdale Convention and Visitors Guide offers 2 for 1 pricing, but it's limited to the summer months. Seeing as we had only a dozen or so people on the boat, I wonder if offering a similar package year-round would not attract more riders.

My wife and I enjoyed this short cruise at Riverfront . A lot of great houses and beautiful yachts. How come so much people are so rich ? We appreciate the guide explanations about what we saw. We recommand to every tourist in Ft Lauderdale.

What an experience.

I had the privilege of taking the Venice of America Tour on March 11th, and I highly recommend it for those who enjoy boating and seeing spectacular houses. Definitely bring your camera to get some great pics to show to the folks back home. The tour guide was great in giving information about the many houses and boats on the tour.
