What people are saying about Mississippi River
We would have enjoyed it more without the school children.
We know the students need to go on field trips to go along with what they are studying but when you are on vacation you don't want to hear and see children running around like that. We would have loved more time at the Battlefield instead of a slow ride back to the dock. Suggestion block out days for school trips only.
Jack was a fantastic guide we had a great experience!
I would recommend spending this 3.5 hours to anyone. It's not a strenuous bike ride and it's very informative. We went back to many of the neighborhoods we cycle 3. It gave us a great lay of the land and so much to talk about! Thank you Jack!
Fun evening on the river and the food was great
The cruise was comfortable, the food was wonderful, the staff were excellent and the music was fun. We had a great time and loved the breeze off the Mississippi. All in all a fun trip. I recommend it.
