2009-07-27 17:57:32 Alright, I went on this tour a few days ago (the mary jemison one) and let me tell you, it is NOT for locals, young people, kids or people who do not want to be on a boring boat tour. It takes you through the Genesee River and all you can see are huge trees and the bottom of old bridges. Which means, you don't see much, and the tour guide have little to say. The tour last an hour to an hour and a half. The food is over-priced but may be worth it if you didn't bring anything and/or really thirsty/hungry. If you are a tourist or older person, it might be fun and it isn't too expensive. The boat docks at corn hill, so its a really nice location to be at. —heyhowareyou
