We loved our tour of Port Vieux and the St. Lawrence River aboard Le Petit Navire. MARY Lou was our guide and she had a lovely, fun personality. On board drinks were a bonus. We enjoyed the breeze (it was a hot evening), the sights, chatting with other guests and learning about Montreal. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend! The guide was incredible- knowledgeable and fun! You can buy drinks on board and I liked that it was a small group/smaller boat. We went at 7p for sunset which was lovely. We learned a lot and it was a great way to see other aspects of the city. 10/10!

Great cruise, staff was friendly and helpful!!! Loved the information the boat guides provided Great to so near sunset as the views of Montreal were beautiful. Went to a rooftop bar directly located across the street from the meeting spot. Afterwards walked along the path to a wonderful Italian restaurant not far away. Wonderful way to spend out first night in Montreal.

Definitely recommend the sunset tour - the city views from the water at that time are beautiful. The whole crew was kind and informative.

Wonderful boat excursion

Carolann_R, Sep 2026

Wonderful excursion and very informative. We loved being on the smaller boat with plenty of room. Also, the crew was exceptional and Jeremy was a great guide!

10/10! So informative and enjoyable!

Rapids in Montreal

Jessica_S, Sep 2026

This was a short but very sweet tour of the port. It was an evening time so a Beautiful sunset. The Captain and tour guide were very fun and made the trip informative and fun. Best part was going into the rapids !!

A great way to begin...

EDWARD_B, Sep 2026

A great way to begin visit to Montreal. 'Recommend taking the boat tour first day in town to help familiarize yourself with the waterfront area.

Great experience! Lovely...

Karen_B, Sep 2026

Great experience! Lovely ride - interesting (and fun!) commentary as we traveled on the water. It was an open-air boat, so very much enjoyed the evening air at sunset.

Beautiful day on a boat ride small group- guide provided limited comments in french and English

Lisa_G, Sep 2026

Short boat ride with small group- our guide provided limited commentary in French and English- perhaps a different guide would have provided more information; we did enjoy the beautiful weather and scenery; drinks were available to purchase ( we did not purchase) ; no food allowed

Don’t second-guess it, just do it!

Jaime_M, Aug 2026

This was one of those ideas that we had but didn’t think we would follow through on, and I am sure glad we did! This was a wonderful way to wrap up an evening, and it was the perfect amount of time to commit to. We had a great tour guide, and they and the captain were friendly, jovial, and knowledgeable. We enjoyed a drink onboard and watched the sunset, while we got a really beautiful perspective of the city. Highly recommend.

Lovely sightseeing cruise of the harbor

Joy_R, Aug 2026

Nice door of the harbor with history on the various buildings. Beer, wine and water/soda are available for an additional charge.

Amazing short trip, great...

Anam_B, Aug 2026

Amazing short trip, great guide and boat operator. Started and ended on time. Loved it. No waiting as the tickets were precooked.

Wonderful way to see Montreal from the water!

Susan_K, Aug 2026

The captain and crew were informative and engaging. Having a small boat makes it a wonderfully personal experience. Entering the St Mary's current was a lot of fun, in a big boat you can't even feel the difference.

Bilingual tour delivers half the info

Kathleen_W, Aug 2026

This was a 45 spin around the harbor. Given that the tour was delivered in French, and then English, it was short on details and history. Having done a similar tour of the same harbor for an hour back in July 2026 that was English only, I felt that this tour came up short on information.

Electric boat ride is fun!

Rebecca_C, Aug 2026

We enjoyed this boat tour immensely! Great tour guide, entertaining and informative narration, and many sights and highlights included. Highly recommend!

Short but sweet sunset cruise!

Shalina_A, Aug 2026

This was a nice solo activity to do and pass the time in between my visit to the Biodôme and concluding the night with dinner. I was able to learn a little bit of Montreal history and enjoy a great sparkling drink. I had some scheduling issues and messaged the trip operator. They were very accommodating and flexible. Overall, I had a great time !

Fantastic cruise on the St. Lawrence

Teresa_C, Aug 2026

Informative, engaging and entertaining! I highly recommend this tour. It was a lovely way to wrap up our day of exploring Old Montreal!

Great history/engaging...

Ori_G, Aug 2026

Great history/engaging tour provided, 45 min was perfect. Also didn’t feel crowded or uncomfortable.

Viator booking...

Martha_W, Aug 2026

Viator booking instructions were not good. Booked a morning tour with another organization and they had very detailed instructions on where to meet. There were no details on the ticket itself, and after Uber dropped us off at the wrong location and we walked around forever – we finally called the booking company and they helped navigate us to the pier. I would not recommend a 6 PM tour on a sunny day – it's hot and if you have passengers with small children, babies, that are screaming and crying is not a pleasant trip.

Exceptional boat cruise

Elister_C, Aug 2026

It was amazing actually I wanted more but I dont wanna sound selfish. It was fantastic !!! Its worth the trip!

This was a wonderful way...

Corrine_F, Aug 2026

This was a wonderful way to spend an evening in Montreal. The staff on the boat were wonderful. The beverage selection was great and your touring partners were good company. The captain made the tour interesting and fun for everyone.

5/5 Stars – Unbeatable sunset views of Montreal!

Keri_J, Aug 2026

This was a last-minute decision for us, and I’m so glad we did it! Taking the electric boat out at sunset was hands-down one of the best parts of our trip. Seeing the city lights start to come on while enjoying the calm water was magical. The boat was smooth, quiet, and comfortable. If you’re on the fence, definitely book it—it does not disappoint!

Excellent boat ride on good weather day

Colleen_H, Aug 2026

For me, the duration of the trip was just perfect, 45 minutes. Lots of good information on sites along the waterway. Beautiful views. Do be aware, though that this boat has no enclosed area. It is all open and you will get rained on if it is bad weather. there is no bathroom either.
