The boat was on-time, the food was better than expected and the prices for food and drinks were the same as those on shore. The cruise was excellent and crew was friendly and helpful. I would have paid twice as much for a longer cruise. It was hot but they had air conditioning inside.

Andres was a wonderful tour guide. I will definitely reserve a tour with him again.

Best part of weekend trip! Informative for first trip to Montreal and lots of FUN.
