Great Tour - This was a really lovely tour. Booking this tour couldn't have been easier. You get your tickets sent to your phone and the instructions on where to go are very clear. I will book with Viator again!!

Wonderful relaxing cruise!!!! Boldt Castel was very interesting to see. I will absolutely book again!!!! - Boldt Castel and the grounds are simply spectacular! The cruise was informative and interesting! Gananoque is a lovely place to visit for an inexpensive weekend getaway. It is a very quaint town with friendly service. Looking forward to going back!!!

Gorgeous weather amazing castle - We got really lucky with the weather and absolutely loved it. So beautiful and I thought 2 hours would be too long at the castle but it went quickly. Such a beautiful place totally worth going.

Wow, just wow!! - The trip out and back were EXTREMELY relaxing!! We got to meet new people and make new friends. The scenery was absolutely incredible. So worth the trip to Canada to do. As for the castle itself, it was beautiful and the views were breathtaking. The free download for the castle tour was great because we could go at our own pace. I wish we could’ve stayed on the island longer to enjoy the castle longer! Will definitely be back to see the progress of restoration.

In the cruise and in... - In the cruise and in Boldt Castle with my family everything are memorable. But disappointed because the city cruises never give us the one ticket from Boldt Castle that not used. Because one never join us because the she called for work. Why the city cruises never give the ticket? We paid that ticket! I hope you can do action of this. Thank you

Amazing views and castle is fabulous - Amazing to be on the seaway again. This never gets old. We went 10 years ago and now in September. The castle has made so much progress.

Good way to spend a day - Good way to spend a day. Staff on the boat were good. Takes way too long to clear US Customs, so ended up having to rush through the Castle, in order to see everything. Several speakers on the boat weren’t working, so ended up missing portions of the guided tour. Still an enjoyable day.

1 hour Bolt Castle visit advertised as 2 hour - Beautiful day for the 5 hr Island Tour including visit to Bolt Castle. It took one hour to clear customs. We only had two hours on the island. Very disappointing. Even if there had been an announcement indicating time limits due to staffing, etc.. or some other compensation. Or do not advertise "2 hours on the island". For those who had mobility issues it would have been impossible to see or do much at all.
