The tour was relaxing and fun! The young man that gave us the commentary of what we were seeing as we were sailing around was entertaining and insightful. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery and also toured the Boldt Castle. The tour boat ride and castle visit took about 3+ hours. The cost of the tour boat was very reasonable at... More

I've been on many, many Uncle Sam tours. They're pretty much the only game in town when it comes to an affordable way to see the Thousand Islands area by water and offer some nice packages. That said, it's important to remember that the tourguides are generally not experts and may not even be from the area, so the quality... More

Good tour guide that was knowledgeable about the area. It provided lots of extra interest. The ride was smooth and relaxing. Gorgeous homes and lots of small quaint islands with unique little houses.

It was a perfect sunny, cool day when we visited in late May 2013. We had such a wonderful afternoon on this tour and our tour guide was quite funny and so very informative! Stopping at Boldt Castle and the Yacht House is also a must as part of your trip!

I really enjoyed my boat tour with Uncle Sam Boat Tours. At first, I chose Uncle Sam because I just wanted to go to Boldt Castle, and Uncle Sam was the only one offering regular boat shuttle to Boldt Castle. When we had arrived, there was a boat tour departing soon to both Singer Castle on Dark Island and Boldt... More

Pretty much the only game in town but we enjoyed our lunch tour today. It was cool and blustery and the river was choppy but our boat was suprisingly stable. The beers on our table barely moved. The buffet lunch was decent...baked ziti and meatballs, chicken and broccoli with fried rice, and apple cobbler. Didn't bother with cold cuts and... More

We've both been on the tours that Uncle Sam offers but never get tired of the time we've spent on any of them. The crew is polite, informative and patient. No matter which cruise you select you won't be disappointed.

Took the tour on a recent Sunday afternoon and had a great time. Our tour guide made the trip. He was great! Dorky-funny, informative and cheerful, he would certainly be a reason to return. The river is beautiful, full of history and lovely homes. A definite must do when in the area.

Would highly recommend especially if you have a nice day! Took a bus of senior citizens on the boat and added the lunch cruise - very relaxing and nice narration with the boat ride. I would highly recommend!
