This was a great boat...

This was a great boat tour of old Montreal. Our driver was wonderful. We saw a lot in one hour. One hour a perfect time for this Tour would recommend.

Don’t book if you have plans for afterwards

The tour itself was enjoyable , and very relaxing. What got to me was I scheduled the tour for 3:00pm I didn’t get on until almost 3:30. So if you have want to book a tour or activity don’t do it unless you can have flexibility. Lady told us that will be 5 minutes more and then it ended up being 30 minutes. I had to ask how much longer. If I’d known this would happen. I’d book with another company.

Operator response

Bonjour Julie, Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the tour itself and found it relaxing. We’re sorry for the delay before departure and, especially, for the inaccurate updates you received while waiting. We understand how frustrating that can be when you have other plans scheduled afterward. We are reviewing our departure coordination and communication procedures with the team so guests receive more accurate information when delays occur. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

The tour supposed to be...

The tour supposed to be for an hour but ended in 40 min. Started at 1:30 and ended at 2;10 saying it's an hour boat tour is misleading.

Operator response

Bonjour Habtom, Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We’re sorry that your tour ended earlier than the advertised one-hour duration. This is not the experience we aim to provide, and we will review the timing of this departure with our team to better understand what happened and ensure that the scheduled tour duration is respected. We appreciate your feedback.

It’s a great boat ride...

It’s a great boat ride around the sky line & dividing islands. Some interesting information provided by our guide in both French & English, we definitely recommend this if you do not have much time in the city and it gets you away from the crowds. 4 for mild disorganization boarding 2 boats and no communication getting us off and on the boat- though explained after.

Operator response

Bonjour, Thank you very much for your detailed review and recommendation! We’re glad you enjoyed the views of Montreal, the islands, and the bilingual information provided by our guide. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the boarding process and communication. We understand how clearer instructions would have made the experience smoother, and we’ll use your comments to improve our organization at the dock. We hope to welcome you back on board again! Au plaisir, Wet Set MTL

Disappointed

Being on the water on a beautiful day was amazing! We were asked by the guide if we spoke English or French and understood we had a mixed group and assumed the guide would speak in both English and French. Sitting by the motor, I could only hear broken parts of what was said, but there was NOT a lot said in English. The tour guide maybe pointed out a couple of things on the water the entire time. We set out in the boat and then were back at the dock after about 20 minutes, the guide hopped off the boat and returned a few minutes later, and we departed again- no explanation was given. After being out less than an hour, maybe 45 minutes total, we headed back to dock. If it wasn't for the employees at the desk being super accomodating when we booked, I would have given it one star. The sites were beautiful and we enjoyed the city, was just hoping to learn more about the city on our tour.

Operator response

Bonjour Heather, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry that the guided portion of the experience did not meet your expectations. Our Ultimate Montreal Boat Tour is intended to combine sightseeing with commentary about some of the main landmarks along the route, and we understand your disappointment if the explanations were difficult to hear or not sufficiently provided in English. Regarding the brief return to the dock, this was done to pick up guests who had arrived late for the departure. We apologize that this was not clearly explained to everyone on board at the time. Your comments regarding the duration, bilingual commentary, and audibility are helpful, and we will address these points with our team to improve the experience for future guests. Thank you again for your feedback. Aventures Wet Set MTL

Unique and fun way to see the city skyline from the water. This small boat made the tour feel private and was a lot of fun. Very interesting to listen to the guide and a great way to spend the afternoon.

Operator response
