The most popular spot was the very front (bottom level). It's calm though it might be a little long for some. For the 5 hour tour: We took an afternoon/evening tour. Despite how busy it is, it was cool to visit and step foot on Boldt Island. Also, make sure you know which boat you were on as there will be multiple tour boats from other companies in the area. The Island and Castle were larger than I thought. The achitecture and interior were gorgeous and impressive. From what I remember, I think the gift shop accepts both currencies.

In particular, we wanted to go on the 2.5 Hour boat tour and loved the beauty, history and the locals enjoying the water too! The second portion was visiting the Famous Heart Island where George C. Boldt, millionaire proprietor of the world famous Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City, set out to build a full size rhineland castle in Alexandria Bay, on picturesque Heart Island.  The grandiose structure was to be a display of his love for his wife, Louise. The structures on the island were amazing! I personally LOVE architecture and history so this was a fantastic experience! Had it been Pre-Covid times, we would have been able to disembark from the boat and explored the island, as the Americans were doing. But because it is technically on the American side of the St Lawrence River, and because of the pandemic, we could only admire it from afar. We can't wait for warmer weather so we can go back and visit!

Any tourist destination that offers a bus or trolley tour must have something to boast about. And…read moreKingston is no exception. First-time sightseers like me to this beautiful university town of 125,000 at the confluence of Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence Seaway will want to get ready to hop-on, hop-off at any one of the eight trolley stops. I stepped-off at Fort Henry, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, for a quick visit to the strategic stronghold with a great view of Kingston, the Royal Military College of Canada and parts of Wolf Island. Unfortunately, my whirlwind tour of Kingston didn't allow me to take advantage of any other great stops like Canada's Penitentiary Museum or beautiful Kingston City Hall--those would have been my two first choices. Pick a stop, hop-off and head anywhere on foot in this very walkable community. But my limited time for a more focused day is why good narration is so important. The bright red trolleys are commanded by tour guides with expert knowledge of the town so you'll get all sorts of historical insight and factoids that leave you in-the-know. They also use pre-recorded narration for some tour segments with several popular foreign languages available via headset. My tour guide was a town native and part time jazz singer whose musical voice and pleasant style offered lively insight into, among others, "The Tragically Hip Way," the "Singing Bridge" as well as the colorful Sir Johnny MacDonald, a Scottish emigre to Kingston and Canada's first prime minister. She also provided an array of dining tips as we scooted down bustling Princess St. lined with period buildings. I was seated in a trolley that had two large open sides which allowed unobstructed photography. I really enjoyed this delightful tour and the price was right. Surface parking by the hour or day is available within easy walking distance. Restrooms are located in the basement of the ticket office that also doubles as a souvenir shop.

We thought the 3-hour trip was the most suitable one for us since it's not that short that you miss a lot of the islands and not that long to be tiring. The 5-hour boat ride will drop you off at the Boldt Castle so that you can explore the castle at your own pace. The islands are very beautiful and it's nice to pass by the cottages and mansions and learn more about some of them. The guided tour is specifically helpful as you learn more about the history as well.

They now have a Jet Bridge which for New York winters and bad weather is a huge improvement. For pet lovers they added a relief area for dogs. A new restaurant is planned but has not been started. I frequently visit my son in Philly and this Airport is easy to navigate and flight loads and pricing is not as high as Syracuse. They fly two direct flights daily to Philly. American is the only carrier though we have heard rumors about other carriers possibly making Watertown home. We have also heard American may add addition flights. With all the new improvements would have thought they would take the mid app/ digital wallet in lieu of presenting Real ID. So make sure you bring your physical Real ID. In February TSA will be charging 45 dollars if you do not have your Real ID along with additional screening. My understanding from TSA is that they did not upgrade their equipment to included equipment to support digital Real ID. Great TSA staff and easy to navigate. Gate and Ticket agents are warm, friendly, and helpful. This airport was one of my favorites and now this makes it my go to for flights to Philly. Airport Parking is still free and paving has been completed. Highly Recommend

We found a Groupon for the Boldt Castle tour, which was twice the length of the cheapest package - it was 20 minutes long and regularly priced at $160 each plus tax and tip. Our pilot was a retired air force pilot, which gave us both a lot of confidence in his flying skills. My husband was anxious and gripped the handlebar in front of him pretty hard, but the flight was smooth and he was extremely friendly and made us feel so safe and comfortable. He was also incredibly knowledgeable and told us a ton of stories and fun facts about the area, which also helped distract my husband a little. He even flew a couple of times around the Boldt Castle so that we could get the best photos possible. We had such a great time and would totally recommend it to anyone thinking about it!
