Nice ride along the river - It was nicely done with some good information. It was a lovely way to spend the afternoon. I have nothing else to say.

Great Trip - Great trip, despite some cold and wet weather. Bilingual guide kept up with the scenery and was informative. Boat had plenty of indoor and outdoor seating plus a bar and kitchen. Well worth the money.

I would recommend this tour and this guide. - Gabriela was very knowledgeable, very courteous and took time to answer questions. She took us to the old buildings in Old Town and told us about their historical significance.

Montreal harbor cruise. - Beautiful scenery on the far side of the river while the Montreal side was all industrial. Narration was so quiet it was impossible to hear. Outer decks were crowded but interior had plenty of places at the tables.

Oversold. Not enough seats. - The waiter was the best part of the trip. Very attentive, kind and lighthearted. The boat was oversold and did not have enough places for everyone to sit on outside decks. So we were forced to sit inside which is nice but not great for a happy hour history boat ride. Thanks to our waiter for making it somewhat enjoyable.

Nice time on the river, not much history - We had a nice day. Staff were friendly and personable. Guided portion was disappointing. Not much information about all the things we sailed past, especially very little about history.

Not worth the money. - While it was nice to be out on the water, it was definitely not worth the price. We bought tickets online only to be turned away at the gangway because we didn't get paper tickets! Because cruise ships were in port, we had to walk to the complete other end of the pier to get paper tickets. There was only one window open. Good thing we tried to board early, or we would have missed our cruise. The food was poor, cold, and overpriced. You also didn't see anything you couldn't see from shore and mostly shipping containers at that. Not worth it.
