Jessica FaithWent on a field trip here with second graders. They do a phenomenal job with the canal tour; very engaging and interactive with the kids. Informative and entertaining! I highly recommend checking it out. The cruise itself is very relaxing 😌

JESSICA ROYER-COLBORN4.5 stars. On time, very friendly and knowledgeable crew. While there was a prerecorded tour that was quite informative I docked 0.5 stars because the recording was difficult to hear while the boat was moving - which was 95% of when the recording was being played. Otherwise very good tour and would still recommend! We had ages 7-70 with our group including a teenager and all enjoyed. Of course going thru the lock (twice!) was the highlight.

Janet SwopeI remember learning the song 🎶 "I've got a mule her name is Sal...15 miles on the Erie Canal." I not only wanted to SEE this part of American 🇺🇸 history, but EXPERIENCE it as well. The Erie Canal guided tour boat ride was EXCEPTIONAL! Captain Mike was fantastic. My favorite part was actually getting to pass through Lock 18. It was amazing to see how all of the lock system works. This was the highlight of our trip to Herkimer!

Tracey HoweWe cruised Tuesday Sept 2. The crew was friendly and knowledgeable. The boat was so clean and seating was comfortable. I highly recommend this tour for every member of your family. We can’t wait to take our grandson.

Sal CaliCertainly a high 5 star rating for the excellent tour and clear and interesting descriptions / explanation of the Erie Canal’s history while cruising along. Since learning about the Erie Canal in grammar school many years ago, it has been on my bucket list to actually experience it and go through one of the locks. I finally got to do it and I highly recommend it.
