Jayce our guide was very enthusiastic and friendly! We took the 5:15 excursion on a lovely warm day in September. It was a perfect way to end the day followed by supper and drinks on the patio at Tavern on the Hill.

Trying to GPS the address provided ran us in circles. If you are unfamiliar with the area I would suggest to search for the Bytown Museum, then continue passed the museum along the left and it takes you to the dock. The guide was fun, although it was hard to hear her at the back.

Good team on the boat. Not that much distance for the duration of the tour but interesting historic faits. The guide was funny and interactive. For the duration and distance the price is a little high.

We were unable to find the docks..There were no signs anywhere along Parliament...We were using our GPS and it just kept taking us in circles..Finally stop and spoke to a security guard and was told that the docks were on the other side. We then had to find parking 3 blocks south walk back up and by the time we finally got to the docks boat was gone and we missed our cruise..Also there was no there for us to speak to and have been unable to contact anyone regarding a refund or credit....The instructions are very very poor

The narrative by the Tour Guide Elodene. She was funny, pleasant and very personable. The booking itself was confusing. The Filipino CSRS are not well informed ( and how could they be, they're in the Phillipines!!!). Boarding location was unclear (Canal Lane versus Hull Marina). Boarding time was unclear (10.30am/11.00am at Canal Lane or 11.00am at Hull)
