The experience was great from start to finish. I reached out and used the chat option to get details about the Toronto Harbour tour. I was sent a link to book on line which made it super easy to book the trip. Our boat left on time and our Tour guide was excellent. The tour is well scripted, informative and fun at the same time. The views from the water are beautiful. My wife and two adult daughters loved the experience and would highly recommend it to all visitors to Toronto. Well worth the time and money!!

Lost in Toronto with Google Maps

Ann_T, Oct 2025
1) I pulled up the cruise information on (Google Maps) gps., got the map to the location & started it up. Everything went well until It took us to downtown Toronto. We were stuck in traffic for quite awhile. Very frustrating. We thought maybe the cruise office was downtown. 2) I finally found a spot to pull over & entered the exact address on the ticket. The gps took us back down town, and we were stuck in traffic once more. 3) I called the tour number & the staff member told us to put Harbourfront in for our destination. I did & we finally got to the Queen's Quay. 4) When we finally arrived, we could not find a parking space. We drove up & down, before we found a parking lot ($30.) that had a space for our car. 5) After wasting over 45 minutes trying to find the booth we finally checked in. Instead of having a nice relaxing lunch, we had 20 minutes to grab something & gobble it down. 6) We finally got on the boat. Our tour guide was very friendly, and fun. Great sense of humour. Lots of knowledge about the tour. We had trouble hearing & understanding much of what he said. I realize the gps is not the cruise company's direct problem, but I would like to suggest a better map for the brochure and perhaps a more detailed description about parking etc. It would help other customers coming to your cruise not get as frustrated as we were.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback about your experience with us. We’re truly sorry to hear about the challenges you faced getting to the harbour and how stressful it made the start of your day. We completely understand how frustrating traffic, GPS confusion, and parking in downtown Toronto can be, and we appreciate your patience in working through it. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the friendliness and knowledge of your guide once on board, though we regret that audio clarity was an issue—we've made this issue a priority to address in the offseason so every guest can fully enjoy the commentary. Your suggestions about clearer maps, parking details, and navigation tips are extremely valuable. We will look into updating our pre-arrival information to provide guests with more specific directions, recommended search terms for GPS apps, and parking guidance so future visitors can arrive with less stress. Thank you again for sharing your experience and for joining us on the water—we hope to welcome you back for a smoother, more relaxing visit next time.

Great trip with excellent guide and wonderful views of Toronto. Only problem was trying to confirm the trip by phone - while the message said the call would be answered in 30 seconds it wasn't. Surely you can come up with a better system
