Great trip! - Great trip - and lovely to have a beer while touring the river. Informative; small boat so nice and intimate experience with the captain and your guide and other passengers. The 45 min length was perfect to learn about Montreal.

Highly Recommended Green Tour - First, excellent, resolution driven customer service, that makes tangible effort to support the client. Second, the crew, led by Captain Francois (I hope I remembered the name right) had a great sense of humor. Being in a small boat made the ride feel personalized and great. Great to know that our electric boat left no pollution behind. Service highly recommended.

Pleasantly Surprised by Boat Tour - This boat tour was a pleasant surprise! It’s a smaller boat so a smaller group on board. The EV motor makes it quiet, so easy to hear the captain. The co-captains were informative sharing history and details on Old Town and the Port. You could order a drink on board. The tour lasts about 40 mins. Definitely recommend this tour.

Enjoyable short trip on river - Interesting boat tour that lasted longer than I thought it would for the price paid. The onboard drinks seemingly only amounted to only a cool box with some water and a few bottles of wine but there didn't seem any point in imbibing for such a short length of time. Personnel involved were very friendly and the onboard commentary was informative.

A different view - The captain shared a lot of interesting heritage, history and stories. We valued this. The boat did not go very far. This would be a nice trip for a family with younger children. We came with teenagers who found it not too exciting. We enjoyed but would book a different experience next time.
