Luc was an excellent tour guide. He is clearly passionate about his country and about sharing it with his tour group
It’s a great boat ride around the sky line & dividing islands. Some interesting information provided by our guide in both French & English, we definitely recommend this if you do not have much time in the city and it gets you away from the crowds. 4 for mild disorganization boarding 2 boats and no communication getting us off and on the boat- though explained after.
My son and I had a lovely time on the boat! Etienne was a great captain and informative guide, showing us the sights along the riverbank.
Alex is a friendly and helpful host. It's a good tour and we saw Montreal in a different view. My kids enjoyed the ride and had fun.
Bonjour, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re very happy to hear that Alex made your experience enjoyable and that your family had fun discovering Montreal from the water. It’s great to know the kids enjoyed the ride as well. We hope to welcome you back again! Au plaisir, Wet Set MTL
Being on the water on a beautiful day was amazing! We were asked by the guide if we spoke English or French and understood we had a mixed group and assumed the guide would speak in both English and French. Sitting by the motor, I could only hear broken parts of what was said, but there was NOT a lot said in English. The tour guide maybe pointed out a couple of things on the water the entire time. We set out in the boat and then were back at the dock after about 20 minutes, the guide hopped off the boat and returned a few minutes later, and we departed again- no explanation was given. After being out less than an hour, maybe 45 minutes total, we headed back to dock. If it wasn't for the employees at the desk being super accomodating when we booked, I would have given it one star. The sites were beautiful and we enjoyed the city, was just hoping to learn more about the city on our tour.
Bonjour Heather, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry that the guided portion of the experience did not meet your expectations. Our Ultimate Montreal Boat Tour is intended to combine sightseeing with commentary about some of the main landmarks along the route, and we understand your disappointment if the explanations were difficult to hear or not sufficiently provided in English. Regarding the brief return to the dock, this was done to pick up guests who had arrived late for the departure. We apologize that this was not clearly explained to everyone on board at the time. Your comments regarding the duration, bilingual commentary, and audibility are helpful, and we will address these points with our team to improve the experience for future guests. Thank you again for your feedback. Aventures Wet Set MTL
Unique and fun way to see the city skyline from the water. This small boat made the tour feel private and was a lot of fun. Very interesting to listen to the guide and a great way to spend the afternoon.
Bonjour, Thank you very much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted that you enjoyed this unique way of discovering Montreal’s skyline from the water, as well as the small-group atmosphere and the guide’s commentary. Au plaisir de vous accueillir de nouveau!
It was a very pleasant and relaxing excursion. Our guide, Alex, was very kind and tried to accommodate the entire group - French speakers and English speakers. He also knew the region well and knew how to expertly guide the boat through the currents of the St. Lawrence.
Bonjour, Merci beaucoup pour votre recommandation! Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié cette excursion agréable et relaxante. Nous transmettrons également vos bons mots à Alex. Nous sommes heureux qu’il ait su bien accompagner le groupe en français et en anglais, tout en vous faisant découvrir le fleuve Saint-Laurent en toute sécurité. Au plaisir de vous accueillir de nouveau!

I seriously don't know how this got a 4.6 and good reviews! Other than one of the people from the boat crew calling me because we were late and we couldn't find the dock, that was about it. . The area is not very nice, it's literally just all industrial. Not only that, we had dinner reservations and the boat tour is supposed to be 1 hour. About halfway through. The Captain said they were running out of gas and needed to make a stop. Seriously you ran out of gas? This set us back an extra 40 minutes!! And this was a very hot day in Montreal and all while we are roasting in the Sun. This was supposed to be a 1-hour tour wound up being an hour and 40 minutes, but I wouldn't call it a tour. I would call it torture. I've been a travel professional for over 35 years. Seriously, this is an unbiased review. And honestly whatever he was talking about we could not understand a word. He said. I have an excellent ear for accents. And yes I'm English speaking and I'm not French but honestly I couldn't hear or understand anything and I don't know that it would have mattered anyway.
Bonjour Johnna, We are sincerely sorry that your experience did not meet expectations. Running low on fuel during the tour and having to make an unscheduled stop was unacceptable. We also understand how frustrating it was for a one-hour tour to last approximately one hour and forty minutes, especially on a very hot day when you had dinner reservations afterward. We are also sorry that the guide’s commentary was difficult to hear and understand. Your comments regarding the departure area, communication, timing, fuel preparation, and onboard narration have been shared with our team so these issues can be addressed. Thank you for taking the time to provide detailed feedback. We regret that this experience left you with such a negative impression.
