What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Travelers rave about the Pasig River Ferry for its efficiency, cleanliness, and friendly crew, often highlighting it as a surprisingly punctual and comfortable commute. While generally positive, some note challenges with accessibility for bikes and wheelchairs.
"Just had my first trip and it was a great experience. The staff and crew are very professional, accommodating and very friendly. A wheelchair / bike access would be a great additional though because I had to carry my bike in and out. Good thing the security guard and MMDA crew helped me to load my bike to the ferry. Salamat po at sa uulitin na paglalakbay!👍🏼👍🏼😊😷"
