Trip was a bit long but commentary and meal good. Handy to have a taste of the ship before considering a longer trip.
Larisa_N - 4/5
Trip was memorable in all aspects but meal was poor. It was only a main course with two small bits of chicken, two other courses were ice-cream and biscuits with whipped cream, quality of dishes quite well but amount is very poor as I consider Thai ice-cream and biscuits are not a sufficient meal.

Loved being on the Proud Mary to see some of the Murray River. Lovely staff and skipper, nice morning tea and lovely lunch. I enjoyed spending some time in Mannum to check out the town and ride the car ferry to the other side and back. Of course Melbas chocolate factory on the way back was good too. A lovely day.

Jeff our driver and guide was exceptional. He was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. It was obvious that he loves his job and sharing his knowledge. He is an asset to the company and would highly recommend further tours with him.
The river cruise was relaxing and the meal was lovely. The staff were very friendly and accommodating.

The drive of our tour (Charley) was great very informative along the way. The river trip and lunch was enjoyable which included an chocolate, cheese and whisky factory on the way back to the city. We would recommend this day trip to anyone vising Adelaide.
