Review of Adelaide’s Popeye Devonshire Tea Cruise, with river views, local history, fresh scones, practical tips, value, and accessibility.
“My granddaughter absolutely loved our trip aboard the Popeye 1. The skipper was amazing & very knowledgable regarding the river, bridges & buildings we passed. He made the cruise fun for the 3 children onboard. My fellow passenger aged 8 loved putting on the skipper’s cap and having the opportunity to press the horn as we were returning back to dock.. The Devonshire Tea was lovely too as was the hostess. Would highly recommend The Popeye cruise to interstate/overseas visitors & to anyone who hasn’t been onboard for a while. Regards, Luise Smith”
Review of Tokyo’s full-day bus tour with Imperial Palace, Senso-ji, tea ceremony, Hilton buffet, bay cruise, and Tokyo Tower.
“Highly recommended, gives a great background about Tokyo, it's history and more. Our guide Atsushi san was amazing! he is very knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. Do take into account though that the tour is marked "wheelchair accessible", while in fact you can only take it if you can go up and down the bus's steps. Our amazing driver took care of taking my wheel hair in and out every time and Atsushi san made sure I won't miss out on anything!”
