   We hired for a surprise 60th and invited the all the family. There was only about 40-45 people so we originally hired the Mark Twain boat but as Lady Diana was not being used, they kindly upgraded it for us. Spent an hour going down the Dee before it turned around and it was another hour coming back. The scenery was beautiful, the staff were exceptional, and buffet was delicious. Highly recommend if you wanted to do something a bit different for a special occasion

   Absolutely fantastic I will remember this trip for life. I took my wife and kids and little dog on the two hour iron bridge tour and it was very well put together freindly staff and boat captain. We sat on the top deck of the boat the mark twain as that's the area dogs are allowed but be wanted to sit there anyway. Downstairs is a bar area serving alcoholic and soft drinks that's fair priced we had a few ciders and it didn't break the bank. Tickets can be pre ordered from there web page this is what we did and they where expecting us. My son has low vision but still managed the boat safely. There's so much to see on the river and there's a audio guide on the boats radio telling all the facts of the area.

   Walked up to the queue for the 12 noon and enjoyed a 30 minute boat ride along the River Dee. Plenty of seats. Smooth ride. A few steps to deal with (if you need to consider this) Toilets and bar available. £10 for an adult. I upgraded to a 24 hour Hop on Hop off city sightseeing bus for an additional £7.50.

   We recently contacted Chester Boats regarding accessibility for a relative with mobility issues. They were extremely helpful stating that ramps could be used to reach the boat and that the mobility scooter could be left on the landing stage. There was a seating area as soon as you board the boat which is where we decided to sit and we had a lovely view of the river. The captain and staff (both female) were really helpful and efficient. The boat trip itself was very insightful, with a commentary guiding us along the 30 minute journey. Thank you for your assistance and for a lovely trip along the River Dee!

   Wonderful trip on the river Dee today on the Mark Twain £10 for an adult. Really enjoyed seeing the city from the river looks very different. Very informative commentary. Very friendly staff. Would recommend going on one of the many boats, family tickets available.

   We read the reviews and decided to give it a go, we sat up top and didn't have to wait long before we went on our half hour journey up the Dee, the staff are friendly and the information given during the trip is excellent, a bit of history and a bit of natural interest too, it was over all too quickly but there is the option of a longer cruise available too, would definitely recommend when visiting Chester.

   We had a great relaxing time on the river Dee. Some beautiful buildings and scenery along the way. We did the city bus tour and purchased a dual ticket for both the bus tour and the boat trip.

   Lovely cruise with great scenery and interesting commentary. Refreshments and toilets available on the boat. Friendly staff. Only negative thing about the whole cruise was the fact that we queued early so were at the front of the queue as we wanted to make sure we got a seat on the top level of the boat. Was disappointing as they prioritise groups and people with pre booked tickets, who were all allowed on before us despite being way back in the queue. Suffice to say we didn't get to sit on the upper level!

   I did the half hour river cruise. It was very scenic with an interesting commentary. There are drinks available and toilet facilities. Good value and the staff are great as well.

   We booked through Chester tourist information service. A lovely cruise along the river Dee for half an hour, and was only £7.50 for adults. Boat crew really nice and friendly. They also hire out their boats for parties and things. Highly recommended.
