    Ohio River Views from the SS Tiki Tours
    Allison B.

    I booked a Tiki Tour as a team-building activity and we are already talking about making this an annual tradition. Such a great experience! We took the four-hour cruise so we could see the sunset. We ordered food that had already been made, so we didn't need to use the grill, but it was nice to have that option. I could see that being a great thing to do during a Reds game or concert. Our captain, Kenton, was awesome. Super laid back and very fun. He even stopped at the dock in Newport so that we could use the restroom at one of the restaurants (I recommend doing this vs. the on board camper toilet, which smelled a little towards the end of our tour.) My only wish: We had to carry our cooler to the dock ourselves. (As 3 small ladies, it was a very steep ramp If they could supply a cooler/ ice that would've been super helpful (Not sure if it's feasible but just a suggestion.) Also, pro tip: Be dropped off or have a car come and get you. :) Either way, we would absolutely book another outing. Great times were had by all!

    This business is such a great addition to the area! If you are looking for a laidback, no hassle day out on the water this is absolutely the way to go! Our captain was Kenton, a delightful guy who ensured we have nothing to worry about beyond the umbrellas in our drinks. Booking was easy and haste free with the owner over the phone. If you go the last minute rate there are even same day deals you may be able to take advantage of. I highly a recommend a trip, it certainly won't be our last!

    Perfect view to match our puzzle

    Perfect night for our 15 year anniversary all thanks to Kevin of the SS tiki tiki boat tour. We had a very magical night with the most amazing view and awesome captain. Kevin was a wonderful tour guide between his enjoyable knowledge of the area to his fantastic help with getting beautiful photos. (Unfortunately I am only able to share photos on this app that I took with my phone.)

    Best experience ever- would give 100 stars if possible! The boat was amazing and had everything we could want and then some- bathroom, bar, speakers, microphone to name a few. The captains were a blast and completely made the experience- hyped up the games we were playing, got pictures/videos of our group, helped set up coolers and pick up trash, and even helped us carry things from the car to the boat. I could not say enough amazing things about this experience, but it is a MUST! Thank you Greg and Tim!!

    I am so happy to have done my Engagement party with SS Tiki Tours!! The Captain did such a great job keeping us smiling and his wonderful daughter was very helpful! She made things a lot easier to handle! I will definitely be back! Thank you for such an amazing time and experience for my Engagement party!

    See all

    This was a last minute decision. Saw an ad pop up on social media about a July 3rd cruise and…read morefireworks. Had never heard of Queen City Riverboats until then. Discovered they're located in Dayton Ky, just a few miles east of Newport. They have a private parking lot- so parking was easy even though the surrounding area was busy. We boarded quickly and the crew members were all very personable. Our tickets included a 3 hour cruise, dinner and open bar. The boat started out by cruising east on the Ohio river and then turned back towards the west (and the fireworks). Our dinner, was as advertised, a mix of bbq, hamburgers, hot dogs and summer salads. There were also cookies and some pastries for dessert. The bar, which was included in the price, was a pleasant surprise. They offered cans and bottles of beer and some fairly good spirits for cocktails. The cruise was a pleasant way to relax and see the sites along the Cincinnati- N. Kentucky Ohio River shore line. We arrived at our spot to watch the fireworks (which were set off from a barge in the river) approximately 30 minutes before start time. It was a very fun way to watch the "fire in the sky". All in all, the food wasn't fancy, the boat decor was a little bit "tired" - however the crew, the sites along the river, the comfy outdoor seating area and the cruise made for a really enjoyable evening. Very glad we went!

    The overall experience was amazing. The crowd was chill, the bartenders were amazing but the…read moreCaptain (the person checking us in) was too much. First, he was not inviting, second, he had a frown on his face, third, he was aggressive towards us. Many of us were over 50, cool, chill and laid back but I understand the sentiment, you never know what type of crowd you're going to get, I guess. The "media" portrays black people as violent, vicious and unassuming. In addition, I know that initial impression of black people is that we are all rowdy but some of us are actually reserved and chill. There are so many facets to us.. give us a chance!!..overall we had a wonderful time!

    We went on the Captain's Lunch Cruise on a sunny but chilly day in late April. It was really…read moreenjoyable and worth the price for sure. We sailed on the River Queen which is the smaller boat. The food buffet was very good and there was something for every taste. Very fresh salad with two dressing options, rolls, meltingly tender beef in a rich brown gravy, baked chicken, mashed potatoes, farfalle pasta in red sauce, scrumptious grilled vegetables. And decadent creamy cheesecake for dessert. Free coffee and tea, and reasonably priced bar drinks for purchase. Our server, Anna (Onna?) was most attentive and usually within sight if you wanted something. The whole crew were very professional, very polite and respectful and eager to please. Our entertainer was engaging with his ongoing narration of the sights and historical facts along the river interspersed with banjo music. The two hours went by quickly. I put on my hoodie and spent some time out on deck, where you can smoke 'em if you got 'em. I decided it was time for a cocktail so I ordered an Anchors Away which was delicious, nautically blue, and had a definite kick. I was really looking forward to getting the pictured souvenir glass, but the first of two wrinkles took place as I was advised they were out of them due to some recent large parties on the bigger boat. Boo. If you're going to advertise souvenir glasses, order more than enough to keep them in stock. Anna arranged to give me the drink in the larger souvenir vessel, which is pretty, but heavy ceramic and I don't see myself using it at home other than for a decoration. The second wrinkle was our bar tab printed out as though I ordered multiple drinks. My husband didn't look at it and just handed over the debit card...then I saw it and went up to tell them not to run it but it was too late. Somehow they had already realized it was wrong but it took such a long time for them to figure out how to void the transaction, which bothered me. The cruise director had to get involved to fix it. Her name was Tasha and she was very nice and so apologetic about the situation, she comped our drinks for the trouble and boxed up some cheesecake for us to take home. She seemed to agree with me that if the owners had not decided to "go cashless" last year this would never have happened. I asked her to pass on my comment that it is not good to refuse to accept payment in legal tender American money and I feel it was a bad move. For this reason I will never give five stars even if the cruise is flawless. Nonetheless I hope to have the chance to take a cruise on the River Queen later this year.

    I cannot put into words how wonderful the trip to Ireland we just returned from was, and I highly…read morerecommend Secret Ireland Tours. Mai was great to work with in the time leading up to our trip; she was sure to provide us all the important information that we would need to prepare for our trip, without wasting our time with useless information or too many Zoom calls that feel unhelpful or confusing, as we had experienced with another tour company in the past. I will always recommend events and trips with our ambassador, Aaron Sagers; when you travel with Aaron, you are always in for a great time. And I can't say enough about our Irish tour guide, Adrian; not only does he know so much about Ireland's folklore and history that he wants to share, but he is also just a wonderful person with whom we all had a genuine connection and now feels like a family member. Thank you, Ado, we appreciate you so much. Our tour bus driver, Ronan, was just lovely; he kept us safe, got us where we needed to go, and shared lots of laughs with us as well. We experienced a truly unforgettable 9 days in Ireland thanks to Mai, Adrian, Aaron, and Ronan. Everything seemed to operate quite smoothly (which I am sure Adrian was a big part of), and after taking another spooky tour overseas in the past that did not go as well, it was much appreciated how seamless this tour was. We never had to worry about a lack of communication, itinerary changes, or that anyone would be left behind. The structure of the tour allowed us some later morning starts as well as time every day to experience the location that we were staying in; to explore the town, and to see and do what the locals do. This was a big selling point of this tour for us, to not feel rushed every day and to have time to soak it all in. We also stayed at great hotels, which were at the least nice (as well as clean), but we even had a surprise stay in the most gorgeous castle rooms one night of our tour! We appreciated the smaller size of our tour group (18 folks, not counting Adrian, Aaron, and Ronan), which allowed for a more personal connection with our guides, as well as with each other. By the end of the tour, we all felt like family, and it was quite an emotional goodbye, which, in part, I think was likely due to the smaller group size, which allowed us to get to know each other. It also didn't feel like you were just a number, as it can feel with a larger tour group. Every single person on the tour felt important, included, and a part of the group. The itinerary was clear from day one when we signed up for this tour, and we were fortunate that there were no changes to our itinerary (likely due to thoughtful and good planning on Mai and Adrian's part), and instead, any changes to our itinerary were just enhancements or bonus surprises. It is good to know that you are going to get what you pay for with one of these types of tours. Adrian brought us not only to some well-known tourist locations but also to some off-the-beaten-path locations, making our tour feel more personalized and special. I am so grateful that I was finally able to experience the beauty of Ireland and its people, and I already can not wait to return. I am grateful that we went on this tour with Aaron and Secret Ireland Tours, and we would love to attend another in the future. I will never forget this trip and the special connections that we made with so many while experiencing this beautiful country.

    Mai is so passionate and knowledgeable about her home country of Ireland. Her priority is to make…read moresure the travelers have the best and most unique experience possible. If you're thinking of traveling to the Ireland, Secret Ireland Tours is the way to go!
