Great history/engaging tour provided, 45 min was perfect. Also didn’t feel crowded or uncomfortable.
Viator booking instructions were not good. Booked a morning tour with another organization and they had very detailed instructions on where to meet. There were no details on the ticket itself, and after Uber dropped us off at the wrong location and we walked around forever – we finally called the booking company and they helped navigate us to the pier. I would not recommend a 6 PM tour on a sunny day – it's hot and if you have passengers with small children, babies, that are screaming and crying is not a pleasant trip.
Nice. Easy, 45-min boat ride with slight rush with St Lawrence current. Beautiful vistas. Funny guides. Drinks available for purchase. Good value for money. Photo ops aplenty. Enjoy.
It was amazing actually I wanted more but I dont wanna sound selfish. It was fantastic !!! Its worth the trip!
Very nice tour ! The tour guide was very funny ! Good wine on bord !
This was a wonderful way to spend an evening in Montreal. The staff on the boat were wonderful. The beverage selection was great and your touring partners were good company. The captain made the tour interesting and fun for everyone.
It was an entertaining affair. Entering the St. Lawrence River is particularly exciting. A duration of 45 minutes is optimal. The boat is not overcrowded, you have enough space.
We enjoyed our trip: the crew was pleasant, the boat was a good size, and it had pretty wooden tables with holders for our free wine. We appreciated the electric motor, which avoided the unpleasant smell of gasoline. We enjoyed learning about Montreal's history and mode development.
This was a last-minute decision for us, and I’m so glad we did it! Taking the electric boat out at sunset was hands-down one of the best parts of our trip. Seeing the city lights start to come on while enjoying the calm water was magical. The boat was smooth, quiet, and comfortable. If you’re on the fence, definitely book it—it does not disappoint!
For me, the duration of the trip was just perfect, 45 minutes. Lots of good information on sites along the waterway. Beautiful views. Do be aware, though that this boat has no enclosed area. It is all open and you will get rained on if it is bad weather. there is no bathroom either.
