- AEAmanda EricksonJan 5, 20265.0We have taken these cruises a few times. It is a great way to see the Riverwalk and learn more about the area. It is even better to see at night while the Christmas Lights are out. Tonight Val did a fantastic job. She was spunky and kept the trip fun. Javier made our evening too! While we have always had a very good experience, tonight was the best we've had. We recommend it to everyone who comes to visit.
- BPBrenda ParkJan 5, 20261.0we went on the Cozy Cocoa Cruise! it was such a waste of time. The music was specific to the driver, horrible and way too loud! one man ask her twice if she would turn it down but she wouldn’t. The add doesn’t even mentioned music. You get a little cup of cocoa while waiting to get on it and that’s it. We thought it would be a narrated tour like the other cruises, but nothing. It was so boring!
- AAAlexanderJan 3, 20264.0It was a nice experience. Not the first time doing this river tour. I do recommend trying it. There is a picture they take with the whole family. Great idea! However, when they took a picture of the family, on the printed picture they put something right in the middle of the picture, covering one of our little girls. They need to slow down and pay attention when they print pictures. We had paid money and didnt realize it, until after when we got home. Seems since it is so busy, they just rush.
- PTPiyush TaraleDec 29, 20255.0We had a great time touring river with them. We first went on Saturday and there was a long queue due to area being really busy that day. After waiting for almost an hour with queue not moving, we decided to give up and come back on Sunday. Our tour guide was very funny. You can either get tickets on counter or book online. Highly recommended to take tour in evening or at night. Also it is recommended to take tour to know about restaurants for best choice. Tour guide will also help with Do's and Don't in the area. Overall, highly recommended thing to do in SA.
- GPGabriel PargeterDec 26, 20251.0The line stretched all the way over to the Convention Center; almost to Hemisfair Park. We waited longer to get in the boat then the actual your length of the tour. I would recommend checking the line before buying tickets as the tickets are non refundable. I'm not sure how they might fix the problem, but the wait made the experience super unpleasant. When vacation time is at a premium, who wants to stand around until their feet are throbbing when time could have been enjoyed doing something else. People should be able to get refunds if they change their minds.
