“During our visit to friends near Clayton in NY, we chose this boat and castle tour after considering several options that fit our needs at a good price. The boat guide was excellent, sharing plenty of knowledge about the region along with entertaining anecdotes. I recommend sitting near the guide since the sounds from the river and boat can sometimes make it difficult to hear. The castle tour was enjoyable as well, and I appreciated the availability of a golf cart for those with mobility challenges, plus an elevator inside the castle.”— claudiahY1635ND on the Boldt Castle and Thousand Islands tour from Clayton tour
