Touring a Mansion - The view from the top of the boat is fabulous. Seeing the islands and the way people adapt to life there is intriguing.

Relaxing and Affordable - Excellent affordable and relaxing experience for everyone. I like that the crew was organized and punctual. The scenery is amazing followed by commentary and explanations about the surroundings during the cruise. The top deck was a little crowded so we didn't have the best view, (If you come approximately 30 minutes earlier you will be first or among the first visitors so you can choose better seats) but the level underneath the deck is good as well. It was quiet and peaceful so we enjoyed it. It's a good idea to bring a sweater or a jacket because it can be chilly and windy on the boat. I would definitely recommend this cruise to everyone and I would love to come back again. Cheers

Nice views - Just ok. The recording was impersonal and about an hour in, unsupervised children took over the boat. The castle was the highlight for sure!

For the beauty of the place - Let’s start with what’s good: the 3 hour tour on the lake waters, the walk is pretty: it’s a good time. The staff is not really friendly and this from the parking (9CAD), can only be consumed and drunk what is bought on boat, there are chairs arranged everywhere on the various decks and the padded benches not maintained.

We found the accompanying... - We found the accompanying commentary very limited and lacking in detail/information. The landscape was quite repetitive and it felt like just an opportunity to look at expensive island houses. On the plus side, it was a beautiful day and there was plenty if seating.
