This is a very informative tour which gives you great views of the city! You can get some great pictures from the boat. You get to go see the islands near the city!

We entertained 12 guests by treating them to this one hour cruise. It provided a great view of Toronto but the audio on the boat cruise was poor if you sat on the top deck. This should not happen when it's costing you almost $450CAD! As a result, none of us could hear much of any of the commentary provided by what seemed to be a knowledgeable guide. As much as we raised our hand to signal that we could not hear, this needs to be addressed immediately so that your guests can at least benefit from the information being shared. Disappointed because of this experience.

During the summer, this is a fun way to spend an afternoon in Toronto. Enjoy the views of Toronto while seated comfortably on a cruise boat. You have the option to get down at City Island and enjoy the beautiful gardens and greenery.

If you want a uick extensive tour and pleasure cruise this may be a good bet especially given the number of trips they make during the day. You will not have to wait long. Exciting, articulate guides make all the difference on such excursions and even a citizen of 60 plus years in Toronto saw and learned new things.
