A good trip with a great team of captain and guide. The tour lasts about an hour and takes you across the harbour to the islands and then back along the waterfront. There are great photo opportunities but choose a good day for the trip or risk missing the views.

This is a good trip and a perfect introduction to the sights of Toronto. The guides are very good with plenty of anecdotes and are very helpful in suggesting when and where to get off and when the next bus will be along. We got the 3 day ticket which gives loads of time for doing the sights. Casa Loma is a good stop and the CN tower is a must. The Distillery district and waterfront are also good stopping off spots. I think the company do a great job and that their staff are all helpful and knowledgeable. If you have time try their Niagara Falls day trip - it's great!

My Review
A very moving and intimate experience. This is a great visit but can be emotionally draining, so be prepared. It is more a workshop than a museum and is tucked away in the Meatpacking District. The workshop features many photos and artifacts from Ground Zero, and you have a detailed audio commentary which works well. Highly rated, but don't go for entertainment.

We got there early in the morning and were on the observation deck by 10am. It didn't take too long to get through security and up the lifts. The views are sensational even though there was a howling wind blowing and it was pretty cold. We did Top of the Rock at night and the ESB by day, thus getting good contrasting visits. Don't miss this trip!

Having flown in in early afternoon and transferred to our hotel, we decided to spend our first evening--2am UK time!--doing the Top of the Rock trip, and we were not disappointed. On a clear evening, the views of NY are stunning, and there were no queues - a great introduction to our stay.
