It is great little trip.
Lots of information, and our guide was awesome as well.
Great blend of knowledge and site seeing.
Covered boat makes for a relaxing time out of the sun for people who want that. Or seats in the sun if you like that as well.

Make sure there no kids under 5 years old.
Scenery was beautiful. Kids ruined the cruise for all the people. Couldn’t hear or enjoy it.
Never again. Waste of time and money and much aggravation.

It was a great opportunity to see something of the islands and hear the history of them.

The tour itself was beautiful but the commentary was to much. I didnt enjoy that at all. Loved when the captain talked tho. Greatly organized and very easy. Over all it was worth going.

There was very limited seating. I was travelling with a pregnant adult and we were over halfway through our journey before someone could be bothered to offer her a seat. I am not sure if it was more windy than usual, but we were unable to hear the narration telling you what the sites were and their significance. I was disappointed with my experience, but it was very cheap I guess you get what you pay for. If you are travelling with a toddler, I would not suggest this cruise. 90 minutes proved to be a bit too long, and the toddler was bored with looking at all the islands. Again, perhaps the toddler may have found it somewhat more enjoyable if the narration was audible, but I am not totally convinced. An additional factor that was irksome was that there was triathlon occurring during our boat cruise. We should have arrived with 30 minutes to spare but just caught the boat due to the fact that we were not forewarned of the event, and as tourists unfamiliar with Kingston, we struggled to find parking. The parking areas near the cruise were all blocked off for the triathlon combined with many one way roads made it very challenging to even take the cruise.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. I especially liked the historical commentary along the way. It was humorous and educational. We would recommend this tour - remember to wear your sunscreen though!!

We had great weather and a lovely cruise. The ability to roam from side to side allowed for excellent picture taking. The commentary was very good but should be updated in certain areas. Ie the Pen is closed. etc

A few too many people for the size of the boat. Very good lesson on Canadian History.

This tour was amazing but we lost out reservation that we decided to travel because of miscommunication between viator and cruise operators.
