On the day I enjoyed the tour, it was a beautiful sunny summer day, but the winds were quite high at the time. As a result, our Captain made the decision not to venture too far out, in the interest of safety.
Once on board, you will cruise slowly in and around the harbour, giving you a first hand view of the downtown area of the city.
Some of the more prominent buildings your guide will point out include; the Parliament Buildings and the famous Fairmont Empress Hotel, a true historic landmark in the city.
