We loved this tour. It was easy to find, left on time and the guide and Captain were wonderful. We felt like we saw a lot of the waterfront in the 45 minutes and got to know more about Montreal. Heading into the rapids was a fun surprise. Also it was nice to have a local beer while touring around. Highly recommend.

Great cruise, staff was friendly and helpful!!! Loved the information the boat guides provided Great to so near sunset as the views of Montreal were beautiful. Went to a rooftop bar directly located across the street from the meeting spot. Afterwards walked along the path to a wonderful Italian restaurant not far away. Wonderful way to spend out first night in Montreal.

A Wonderful way to be Introduced to Montreal
gagnecynthia, Oct 2025
Our experience with the Boat Cruise at Le Petit Navire, Montreal was very enjoyable. The narrator provided good information about the various sights as we passed by them. The restored boat is lovely. We were fortunate to have good weather since the boat only has a roof, and nothing to protect us if it had been rainy or windy. We recommend this because it was of good value to us.

Great trip on the river with some history and drinks blended in. We were able see and learn a lot in a short amount of time.
Lovely waterfront tour
Nancy_C, Oct 2025
Nice tour of waterfront area. Wine was $10. Staff were very nice and helpful. My husband uses a cane and both mobility and stability are a challenge. Getting on the boat wasn’t too difficult but getting off was a challenge and he almost fell. I would not consider it as accessible as indicated.
Lovely 45 minutes on the waterfront
Karen_G, Oct 2025
Nice/comfortable electric boat and very friendly/knowledgable staff. Honestly, the sites you can see from the water are fairly unimpressive, and I think a walking tour would have provided more interesting commentary. Overall, though, this was a lovely way to spend 45-60 minutes on the water at sunset.
Nice short boat ride
Gina_P, Oct 2025
Very nice little boat ride around the old port. Captain and guide were very friendly and knowledgeable. Drinks available for purchase. Would definitely recommend especially if you are short on time.
Old Montreal harbour tour. Very nice!
Ron_L, Oct 2025
Nice 45 minute tour around old Montreal harbour. With the added bonus of a quiet, electric boat and wine!
A water tour you should not miss!
Marnie_H, Oct 2025
The boat is perfect size and the tour length was just right. We had a university history major join the captain and she was great! So engaging and knew so many nuggets about Montreal’s history. The tour was not only fabulous, we actually had one of the warmest, sunniest days in October but informative! Highly recommend!

The guides were entertaining and engaging. They packed a lot of information into a short cruise. It's an excellent option if you're pressed for time.
Awesome short cruise

Short but awesome experience. The excitement of a short ride in the Lachine Rapids as well as the relaxing experience of enjoying a purchased glass of wine and seeing Old Montreal from the River. Informative also

Great way to see The Old Port. Very nice boat, comfortable and great guide sharing interesting info about sites and history. Especially cool was going into the rushing current to understand the impact it has on the port.
Heads up!
Dori_M, Sept 2025
This is a nice trip, but avoid it if you get seasick easily! The river is very swift, at least in September.

Good tour!
Caitlin_G, Sept 2025
It was a solid little tour. I wish they had been more descriptive at times to tell us which building we were actually supposed to look at/they were describing. Sometimes it was obvious and sometimes it was not.
Fantastic tour

Old Montreal walking tour

A complete and informative tour of old Montreal with a sparkling and enthusiastic guide, Sylvia! She is passionate about her city and her passion was infectious!
Relaxing yet informative experience
Larry_B, Sept 2025
This was a very relaxing yet informative way to learn details about Montreal while traveling on the St. Lawrence river. The presenter was very friendly and helped to make the experience very good. I would recommend this for anyone who would like a relaxing experience to learn more about the city.
Enjoyed it!
