Nice cruise but not for insights
Angelika_F
, Aug 2022
Although the cruise was nice, I felt that there wasn't much of an actual guide speaking and it was difficult to hear the recording from the outside. If you're looking for a nice cruise, I'd recommend. If you're looking for a tour, this wouldn't be the best option.

It was just ok. If you’re going on this ship in hopes of a tour, this is not it- I could barely hear the pre-recorded audio. Also, get there way before if you want seats on the top deck.

The only saving greave was that we went on the hottest day! The breeze helps. Besides that, it was too full, too packed and too busy. So busy, you can’t find place to stand.. let alone sit!! Can’t hear anything the guided said. Even leaving took a good 30 minutes. It was all a ok!

A little disappointing.
Debbie_M
, Jul 2022
We had booked Le Bateau Mouche cruise in order to see more of the city and learn about it but felt this cruise didn't really do either. Understandably, there is only a small portion of the city that can be seen from the river but felt there were only a few sights that were pointed out which was disappointing. It was also quite difficult to hear the commentary on board when passing the sights. However, the drinks and snacks menu was extensive making it a more enjoyable experience and allowing the opportunity to take in a different view of the city. The staff as well were lovely and very attentive. If visiting Montreal again, I'd give this cruise a miss unfortunately as there were better ways to see the main sights.

Never again racist wait staff
Yvette_B
, Jul 2022
Being only 2 black people boat and then going downstairs to the drink and food room and being overlooked. Every white person in that room was asked and served a drink except for me and my mother. Finally my mother went over and asked why no one came over to us. There were at least 3 wait staff workinf the room. Finally some came over and of course we did t order a think. No thanks for making my memorable vacation hurtful . Will not recommend and will not take this boat again. It was quite clear to us.

Worst tour ever. Felt like we were in a greenhouse, very little air movement, there was no information on what we were seeing, and took extremely long to board and un-board. Might as well have been pick pocketed. No excuse for such a sad experience.

Cruise needs quite some Improvements
Patrice_F
, Aug 2021
It was +34 Celcius, that day. The AC was on but not strong enough, people inside were sweating like hell. Please turn on the AC higher on the hottest days. As well, the service can be better: Granting people a fresh bottle of water should be included, it is not that expensive to do. That is the peak of Customer Service: show your clients they mean something to you, without them there will be no Bateau-Mouche Sightseeing Cruise. I like the fact to be on a boat that's why I give a 4 Stars, I Love boats. Unfortunately they go through some routes twice to make the 90 minutes cruise. Add more points of view for the routes, and please don't go twice in the same place of view. You actually deserve a 3 Stars or 2.

Hello Patrice, Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback. It is a disappointment to learn that you didn’t enjoy your cruise at its fullest. We are deeply sorry about the discomfort you felt and we will be making sure that this situation doesn't repeat itself. As for the cruise route, we believe that we offer the most interesting itinerary for cruises in Montreal as the design of the Bateau-Mouche allows us to go to places where other boats cannot explore. Per example, we are able to navigate the current behind the Le Havre jetty and observe Habitat 67, the island Notre-Dame, the Casino and 3 bridges in this region. If you wish to discuss any other issues, feel free to contact us at 514 849-9952. It would be our pleasure to see you again on board. Le Bateau-Mouche Montréal’s crew

Montreal - Boat Cruise
MohamedAli_C

The journey was dull as there was not much to see in the route, it should be scenic and or interesting, and also there was no commentary at all to know what we are seeing or passing by, hope some better route is taken.

We appreciate that you take the time to give us feedback from your experience. The 90 minutes cruise is a beautiful getaway on the St. Lawrence River; We are sorry that you did not enjoy the itinerary. Can you tell us on which date you did the cruise in order for us to proceed with proper verifications. Sincerely, The Bateau-Mouche team.

How not to hamdle customer
Daniel_P
, Jul 2021
Bought the ticket, there was no specific time on it only the day. So basically it was suppose to be throughout the day. So went during the afternoon at 16h and was told there was no more sightseeing cruise available for the day. Only supper on the cruise. Spend 45 min waiting next to the booth to talk to the manager and there is nothing he can do. Spend another 15 min on the phone with customer service of viator to be told they will get back with a possible refund once they iron it out with the local cruise. So basically wasted 1h for nothing. Good luck with the services.

Good morning, We thank you for your feedback. We are sorry that this happened and be assured that we contacted Viator to correct this as there is alway supposed to have a date and departure time on each ticket otherwise we cannot guarantee the availability. Also, during Covid we have a reduced capacity aboard to ensure everyone safety. Have a beautiful day, The Bateau-Mouche team

Pleasant ride on the river. Info from tour guide PAsystem was disappointingly superficial made worse by the loud passengers all around us who seemed to be on board for a booze cruise. Individual earphone sets linked to a well-researched and scripted explanatory talk would have been appreciated.
