It's prepared on-board and was presented and tasted like a 5-Star restaurant meal. The crew was personable and engaging. Well-worth your time, a great meal, value and views! Would do this again next time, maybe the dinner cruise! Vince & Angela Virginia - USA”

“It was an unforgettable memory. The driver, group leader, and group members were friendly and it was a good day, but: 1. The price was in dollars, but after paying, it turned out that they meant US dollars and not Australian dollars. This was not specified and caused my dissatisfaction. 2. The small bus seat was not comfortable and caused neck pain. 3. The group leader's explanation on the bus speaker in English and Chinese was very long and annoying.”
