Famous Soo Locks Boat Tours

We stayed in Sault Ste. Marie and had an opportunity to take a tour with the company. The ticket price was average for the tour. Nice facility and location. Boat was in good shape. The beast part of the tour was the narrator. A local with all the knowledge of the area and history of the toured sites. The tour takes you up thru the American locks explaining how they worked and all of the businesses along the river. At the tour you turn and get an up close view of the steel mill and unloading facilities before heading down the historic Canadian locks. With out the precise details of the tour it would have just been a boat ride.
