| - This is one of the few things I've ever done in my life that have made me think, "That was okay." It wasn't brilliant, it wasn't awful, It was completely mediocre from beginning to end, which was, well, okay by me. I have nearly no feelings about it, besides the fact that it was fun to spend time with my husband and good friend who was in from out of town.
They offer a 90 minute cruise at lunch time (12:30) and hour long cruises a few times a day. We went on the 4pm tour. The thing about the tour is that there aren't that many interesting things to see of Montreal from the water. So you don't learn that much, it's mainly just a pleasant thing to do on a sunny day.
It's about enough time for a drink, and we had a couple of beers and a cocktail. They weren't insanely priced, but they weren't well priced either. The cruise was around $25 per person, and I think that combined with the drinks, it was a bit of an overspend.
I think next time I take someone on a boat tour I may try one of the smaller and cheaper ones, because if the whole point is to glide around the water on a nice day, then you don't really need the whole tour guide experience with the bells and whistles.
And if any potential business venturers are reading this, Montreal seems to have a serious dearth of good options for boat tours. There is definitely a market here.
