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

After the successes of other tours was disappointed with this cruise. No outside seats on the boat, so particularly warm in August. Because of the high banking on each side of the river there is not much to see of the city of Rome from the boat during the cruise, unlike other city cruise's such as Paris, Prague, Amsterdam etc. There was a detailed history to each of the bridges that were passed but this did not compensate for the lack of views of the city. Sorry but, Rome and the River Tiber are not meant for tourist river cruises.

The trip is not what we expected. The river is low, and we could not see many of the sights. The trip is meant to travel around town, not for sightseeing.

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.

A very poor trip. Because the river is contained within thirty foot high walls, you see very little of Rome other than bridges. The tour is advertised as one hour and fifteen minutes long, but ours was only fifty minutes.

There is not much to see and the river is very dirty.

This is only interesting if you want to hear about the history behind each bridge. The narration was very boring, and the water was full of debris. The walls are so high you can barely see anything over them.

Dead boring. Actually fell asleep. Also, the river embankments were filthy and littered which didn't make for great viewing. This is not the cruise company's fault at all but it does compromise the experience a great deal.

This should be a Rome Afternoon Sightseeing Cruise on the Tiber River of graffiti, garbage and bums.
Reviewed by: Michelle O, United States of America, September 2007
This trip was a waste of time and money. The views from the boat were very limited as there is a high wall, covered in graffiti, on both banks of the river. The recorded commentary was not synchronized with the journey and the voice of the English translation sounded bored and hurried.

Not very good and not a lot to see.
