A pleasant afternoon on the harbour. Ambassatour staff were friendly and efficient. Also compassionate, when one of our party was unable to sail due to a last minute family emergency, booking staff were able to provide her a Silva sailing credit for future use.

Great fun and beautiful sights of Halifax Harbour. The crew were helpful and the drinks were cold and refreshing. An awesome adventure on the water.

I feel that there should have been some commentary on what we were seeing at different times....example....MacDonald bridge, George's Island...so many people from out of province had no idea of what they were looking at. I talked to a couple of them and they wished they knew. The music was fantastic and the crew were wonderful.

Great experience. Just long enough to enjoy the tall ship and the harbour of Halifax.

It was a great experience to see the Halifax Harbour this way, and the opportunity to raise a sail was great (though I tired quickly). A lot of good information was shared, though more speakers would help with hearing some of it. As well, the staff on the ship were friendly and engaging, answering various questions about sailing I had that weren't related directly to the tour.
