    On the viator website it says you could bring your own alcoholic beverages. However when we got there that was not the case. If I would have known that, I wouldn't have booked the trip. I think it was over priced since I also had to pay for alcohol. However, the captain and bar tender were good at getting people involved in activities throughout the boat ride.

    Awesome Experience

    What a fun experience, meeting and playing games with everybody on the boat having conversations with complete strangers all just out to have some fun!! The driver cracked jokes the entire ride making it very comical. The driver was friendly and knowledgeable. Do it, take the pontoon saloon!! It was so much fun!!

    Great time!

    Sightseeing cruise

    Pontoon cruise was definitely not what we expected. Have been on a of lot of Viateur tours, this was the most disappointing. Description definitely should’ve been different. It was all very young people who were looking just to drink and party. We anticipated a nice river cruise. No history, No sightseeing, strictly drinking and loud music. Wish there was a way that we could get a refund.

    Response from Host, Sep 2022

    Thanks for the review, we agree and have tried to update the listings on here but viator keeps changing this to sightseeing. However we do have great views but this the "Pontoon Saloon" name should say it all. we are fun up beat booze cruise with the goal of have fun with all the others onboard. Thanks for the feedback!

    Fantastic

    Highlight of our Nashville trip

    Amy_M, Jul 2022
    This was so much fun! I was a little leery at first because it was a very large group, but everyone chatted and had a fabulous time. This was truly the highlight of our trip and we will definitely do this again. 👍 👍
