Two hours too long.

Do the one hour tour instead! Three hours of slow cruising, commentary on the size of houses on various islands, and a wedding band. Yes there is beautiful scenery, but not much else.

It was a very nice trip...

It was a very nice trip and Donna was extremely knowledgeable. We had beautiful weather and we were able to see some very nice properties from the boat.

Do this if you visit Kingston!

This was a fantastic excursion and really gives you a deeper understanding of the importance of Kingston and the St. Lawrence Seaway in Canadian history. Although, it was a bit long (3 hours) and the seats on the upper deck are not very comfortable (make sure you get up from time to time) the overall experience is a great one. We also had some lovely musical entertainment to keep the tour going when the hostess was taking a break from talking. Bring a hat and sunscreen! And once the tour is done, take in a bite to eat at one of the many bistros and restaurants that Kingston has to offer in the downtown core.

They cancel your booking unilaterally, even if you book months ahead of time. Don't trust them

Even though you book with them with over a month of time ahead after a carefully planned trip with relatives coming from far away, they simply cancel your cruise weeks unilaterally. Extremely disrespectful and awful customer service. Do not recommend relaying on them.
