We had a great experience with Uncle Sam Boat Tours -- just did the hour-long Millionaire's Row tour, but the houses are quite a sight to see and the narrator for the tour was incredibly knowledgeable about the history and facts of each home. The only drawback for us is that the weather was a bit rainy and cold, so... More

We take all our visitors on this tour. Sometimes friends & I will go one a tour for a nice summer break. Suggest taking the 2 castle tour if time allows. Sterling Castle is just as beautiful and interesting as Boldt Castle but not as big and time consuming. Bring a sweater on the boat even in summer can be... More

These tours are a must do when you go to the 1000 Islands. The history behind this area is beautiful and ever changing. Dinner cruise is great. Ther fireworks cruise is fantastic on Forth of July.

The weather was not the best, it was a bit chilly a jacket would be a must if you plan to do it towards the end of the season. The tour it self was very good and very informative, definitely learned... More

We took the 2 1/4 hour cruise which took us quite a ways. We saw most of the mansions and houses on the islands and the narration included a bit of history. The only down side was that the PA system was on the blink for the first 20 minutes and we missed a lot of the talk.

We took the Two Nations cruise, which was about 2 and a half hours long. It was great fun. The boat has two inside decks with seating in the form of tables and chairs. There is a top deck which is outside with benches. The top deck fills really quickly so head right up if you wish to sit there.... More

My wife and I recently took the 2 1/2 hour Two Nations Tour which departed at 10am (there is also a 12:30 cruise). Our guide was engaging and provided rich details of many facts and history of the area and the St. Lawrence River. I would go so far as to say that if you have never been to the... More

Best way to see and learn about the 1000 Island area. We took the Two Nation Tour and our tour guide was the funniest ever. A definite must do when visiting this area.

We booked two boat tours that weekend, and they gave us a discount. On Saturday, we took the 2 Nations boat cruise to see the islands. Sunday, we took the boat to Singer Island where there is a guided tour of a grand home on Dark Island.

We took a weekday 12:30 two nation cruise advertisd as 2 1/4 hours. After a 1/2 hour cruise we went back to the dock to disembark passengers "finishing" their cruise, and allowing new passengers to start their 1:00 pm cruise. The result was our cruise was now cut by 20%...the 1/4 hour turnaround! It was not onerous sitting at the... More
