Great way to get a view of Toronto from offshore and cruise into the islands. Good and interesting commentary.

It was a gorgeous day in Toronto. This is a comfortable, easy boat ride for about 45-50min. There is a narration too, though it was a bit difficult to hear. The guide was speaking fine, it's just that the sound system didn't carry so well all the way to the back of the boat which is where we sat. Combined with the wind, it was tough to hear. Despite that, there's a drink/snack bar and this was a great way to spend an hour on the lake during a summer afternoon.

I found the tour lame. The boat didn’t go more than 600 meters from the dock The boat went up the coast about 600 meters turned and went down the other way past the dock for about 600 meters and turned back toward the dock. During this the time the tour guide talked about the buildings, some history. No wildlife was seen and the tour guide didn’t address much of the wildlife that lives in the lake.

This was a quick 60 minute ride around the harbor. The boat was hot and unhygienic. The guide was excellent, though.

We enjoyed seeing Toronto from the water. Ryan was a great guide and gave us a lot of interesting information on the islands across from the city..

A quick way to see the skyline of Toronto and enjoy being out on the water. We boarded 10 minutes before the boat left and there were no seats on the upper deck (boarding starts 15 minutes before departure). We had to sit on the lower deck and it was very warm and hard to hear the tour guide. Everyone was really friendly though and we enjoyed the sights.

Very strict policy on re-schedules. Flying in from Manitoba and had an unfortunate flight delay. Spoke with a Rep and nothing could be done to help us

Had a great time on this tour! Great value for the cost, was a great way to spend an evening and get out on the water to enjoy the scenery and the weather. The tour guide was excellent - informative and funny, and I learned some new trivia about Toronto. If you’re looking to relax for an hour, this is a great option. Great photo opportunities as well! Recommend bringing a jacket if you’re going in the evening when the sun is setting, it gets breezy on the water.
