This review is long overdue. Last year for Christmas I purchased for my grandmother and myself a…read morecruise to Starved Rock. We boarded in Peoria and spent the day cruising to Starved Rock. What I didn't know when I booked was that this was also a murder mystery cruise. The cast was on the boat the whole time. Once we arrived in Starved Rock we had dinner at the lodge and stayed at the Lodge. The next morning was breakfast at the Lodge and back on the boat to cruise back to Peoria. Everything about this trip was fantastic. The murder mystery outfit was fabulous. As it was flowing throughout the two days it became really interesting. It was better than any murder mystery dinner I have ever done. The ragtime music was enjoyable and the food was also really good. My grandmother LOVED this. She keeps asking me when we are going to go again. If you are looking for a different thing to do, try this!

It was a 90 minute trip. Parents, think twice before bringing the kids. Or if you bring them, make sure they have an activity they can do during the cruise. The kids i saw were all bored either from the start or shortly after. They ran around the deck and emptied out the ice water container. Restrooms were clean.

If you schedule a tour, please show up on time. The guide waited on people that was late. Also, don't take a tour if you plan to be disruptive and talk about non-related items the entire tour. The tour guide had a lot of patience with the audience, and we could tell that the constant laughter and cackling was a distraction to him.

I cannot rave enough about the Sainte Genevieve Riverboat!…read more I went on the riverboat for my friend's 40th birthday this fall and it was the BEST experience ever! We did the unlimited mimosas and brunch from 10:30-12:30. The mimosas were fantastic and the food was delicious! They had so much to offer from donuts, cinnamon rolls, brownies, croissants, cheeses, bacon and sausage sandwiches, etc. We were over the moon with what they offered on the brunch cruise. The service was quick and friendly. The boat itself had dining options inside and outside. We sat on the upper deck and it was the perfect spot to take in all of the beautiful fall colors and views. We also saw so many bald eagles on our boat tour as well. If you haven't been on this riverboat tour, you're missing out. I cannot wait to go again!!
