Great tour with a great company

A very enjoyable trip with a good guide. Great customer service. Access to boat was difficult due to the barriers erected for the World Cup and after walking into many dead ends we contacted customer service and they immediately sent someone to escort us to the boat. This was a godsend as my husband has Parkinson’s and was beginning to run out of steam. Thanks for your kindness

Worth Seeing Toronto From The Water

Finally found the right berth for departure. Staff were very pleasant but nearly sent us off on the ferry rather than the harbour/islands tour we had booked. The boat is a small one so not too many people. Our guide was excellent and did not draw breath the entire trip to give us as much information as possible, covering every aspect of the area. There is a lot to see in a short time and a great start for those who then want to explore on their own. Really fun and informative. Just under an hour, which was perfect for us. This is also the best was to get a shot of the skyline. Would recommend.

Operator response

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! We are glad you connected with us - We are speaking with the Harbourfront Centre staff about some additional signage while there is some FIFA celebration activity happening in the area. We're delighted you enjoyed the tour and thank you for your recommendation!

Great Views.

Lovely to see the city of Toronto from the harbour and to have a quick look at the islands. The sun was shining, which helped.

Quick trip with good views.

This was just the right amount of time on the water for a quick break from the city. Our tour guide was fairly new but still gave some tidbits of info. Pretty ride through the islands and great views of the skyline.

Operator response

We're glad you enjoyed your time on the water and the views of the skyline. Thanks for joining us for a harbour cruise!

Boat tour of Toronto Harbor

It is short (45 min), but a very nice boat tour of Toronto Harbor. We live in Toronto, but the information we received from a tour guide was new to us. Also, we took beautiful pictures and, after the tour, took a ferry to Central Island to explore it on our own.

Operator response

We are delighted you heard something new! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review

Beyond the view...

Beyond the stunning view of Toronto and its islands, the crew greatly contributed to the success of this cruise. Warm, dynamic, and generous with their knowledge, the members made this excursion as entertaining as it was informative. A beautiful way to discover the city from a different angle.

Operator response

Merci pour vos gentils mots. Nous ne manquerons pas de les partager avec l'équipe !
