2.5-hour Toronto Harbour cruise on the Toronto Odyssey with chef-made brunch, lunch or dinner, skyline views, and tea and coffee included.
“The brunch was delicious. Service was excellent and welcoming. I have no complaints. Great tour of the city on the water. Enjoyed it very much. Great way to spend a few hours in Toronto.”
Toronto to Niagara Falls day trip with Hornblower boat cruise, Table Rock views, and optional Sheraton Fallsview buffet at night.
“This is not as advertised. In winter I was informed only 1 trip from the tour guide. I was only notified 24 hours before and said not enough people which is incorrect. we booked afternoon and evening this does not run and when we booked it offered us boat clearly this does not run. We booked day trip and evening with 3 course dinner. There is no boat as it is frozen this should not be advertised as such.”
Vancouver dinner cruise with West Coast buffet, live music, and sunset harbor views past Stanley Park and Canada Place. 2.5 hours.
“The crew was very helpful. The music was nice and relaxing. Dinner was amazing and the views spectacular. Definitely would do again”
Old Quebec in 3 hours: a 5-course dinner with wine and a funicular ride, plus iconic stops like Place Royale and Terrasse Dufferin.
“Surprisingly good! Carol was a phenomenal tour guide and gave us good tips of what to see that may suit our needs. The food were exceptionally good. The price of the tour is truly a steal!”
Sunset Montreal dinner cruise with 3 or 5-course bistronomic meal, terrace views, DJ dancing, and iconic Jacques-Cartier Bridge photos.
“Wonderful experience. Will attempt to return for another trip in the warmer weather in order to spend more time on the out door deck.”
Vancouver sunset dinner cruise with a West Coast buffet, in-house music, and skyline views from the water, about 2.5 to 3.5 hours.
“Very pleasant evening. Ship was beautifully set out and the buffet was good. Not keen on the music but that's just a personal preference. We had a really nice evening and at the end a member of the crew organized a cab back to our hotel for us.”
7 pm Niagara Falls night tour with Hornblower fireworks cruise, 3-course dinner by Horseshoe Falls, and Illumination Tower light control.
“My friend and I came here to celebrate our 60th birthdays and this is a perfect venue. Everything from the dinner lighting up the fall was fabulous.! Hard work guide, Samara, was great. Highly recommend.!”
Small-group Toronto to Niagara day tour with Hornblower boat cruise, optional Journey Behind Falls, free time, lights, and seasonal fireworks.
“It’s a long day but Shahz makes sure you goes over everything very detailed and makes sure you have plenty of time to see everything. So glad we got to see the fireworks and away from the proud which was perfect!”
A 2.5-hour plated dinner cruise on Toronto Harbour with a DJ, dancing, skyline views, and cash-bar drinks for purchase.
“The dinner was fantastic! The drinks take a while to arrive so order a few at a time for sure. The atmosphere was stunning and the views were absolutely spectacular! This is a wonderful way to see the Toronto Harbour!”
A 3-hour Kingston sunset dinner cruise through the Admiralty Islands with a 3-course meal, live music, and onboard commentary.
“Kingston was a one night stopover before Toronto and we booked this last minute. It was a magical end to our holiday and everything was brilliant. Whilst guiding us through the islands we had a mixture of music and information followed by a 3-course meal, more music and dancing (if you wanted). Fabulous evening.”
Niagara Falls day to night in a small group: Skylon Tower views, Journey Behind the Falls, Hornblower boat ride, 3-course dinner, light control.
“Maid of the Mist, the Illumination tower, the restaurant was excellent and its location was perfect. The guide named Precious was the best guide we ever had. He was just outstanding and so considerate and knowledgeable.”
Québec City sunset dinner cruise with DJ dancing. Choose 3 or 5 courses, sip a cocktail, and cruise past Château Frontenac and Montmorency.
“My wife and I had a great time, the food was fenominal and the dancing after was great. The staff were very friendly and we have already recommended this to friends”
3-hour Montreal dinner cruise on the St. Lawrence from the Old Port, with onboard music and optional à la carte dining up to six courses.
“Erick the server/manager was awesome. He and his crew were always there when we needed something. Throughout dinner we went up to the observation deck to look at the sights but honestly when you’re done w dinner there’s about 45 mins to look at the night lights and that’s way better than the beginning if you ask me. I had a wonderful time. My family of 5 had full bellies by the end of the night. Thank you. Thank you. Will definitely recommend my friends.”
Niagara Falls night tour with hotel pickup, 3-course dinner by the Horseshoe, Illumination Tower lighting, and Currents light show.
“Nikola was fantastic! Made you feel like a friend. Very polite and knowledgeable, would do it again.”
Niagara Falls by day and night in a small group with a boat cruise, Skylon Tower views, behind-the-falls tunnels, dinner, and hands-on light controls.
“A bit disappointed that we didn't go on the evening boat ride and there were no fireworks. We were not offered anything to take up the difference in time. so did not get a full 8 hours. I think a partial refund is due as we paid full price.”
Six time zones of days out, sorted by the kind of day.
