While this was a no-frills cruise, the information, given in both English and Italian, was very interesting and the view was great. We got some wonderful pictures - it was a great way to wind down our time in Rome.

It was a welcome respite from the heat on the air conditioned boat. I was mistaken in my belief that we would be able to see the Colosseum but all the history about the bridges was fascinating.

Very casual in scheduling and execution--we didn't know we would be making a stop for other passengers, etc. Commentary interesting--wish there was more of it.

The trip was OK and the commentary very good, but really the river and its banks could do with a clean up. Very friendly staff.

It was fine. The crew could have interacted more, though, as earphones were annoying. The whole cruise was quite informative, though.

The tour was rather boring. I expected it to go farther down the Tiber. Also, it was difficult to hear the tour because of rowdy children who ran wild the entire trip.

I think everything was as good as it could be; this is just not a very interesting trip. We enjoyed the atmosphere around the dock and had a pleasant evening, but not much gained by the river tour.

There is not much to see from the Tiber, just the graffitied retaining walls and the very tops of the buildings right next to the river. The commentary on the cruise was good, yet we could not see the buildings they were talking about from the boat.

Not what I expected and was a little boring.

Did not measure well against similar cruises we have done in other cities/countries.

Less than an hour trip with very little to see from the boat. Not worth the money we paid.

Other than having various drop-off points to get you where you wanted to go, I would not recommend this cruise. The audio was poor and it took several attempts to find a port that was functioning in the language you needed. Also, the audio was mostly music with rare interruptions of commentary on the bridges.

Waste of time. Hard to see anything.

This is not an hour cruise. We cruised for approx 15 minutes before stopping for at least 20 more to pick up new passengers to just return to the dock. I feel the description is extremely misleading and would never recommend this to anyone.

I do not recommend it, not a side of Rome I wanted to see, trash and homeless all down the river. Stick to the main tourists spots if you don't want to see the dirty side of Rome.
