A tour guide for about and hour or so. He was well informed and kept our interest during the tour. Secret passageway and original furniture in the castle and you also can sleep in this castle.

Lots of neat secret passageways, beautiful interior finishes and architecture but…… It was very difficult to hear the tour guide outdoors because the group was so large. He was walking and talking..... more

Amazing experience. Tour guide had so much knowledge and led us on a very informed tour. Beautiful architecture, art, and history. Highly recommended to those who enjoy learning about the history of the castle as well as the Lawrence river.

One has to take a boat to reach Dark Island and the castle, which we boarded in Alex Bay. Our tickets cost a little over $40 for the boat and castle tour. It was interesting and the setting is lovely. Unfortunately, we toured after the staff had decorated for Halloween...and I felt the number of them distracted from the interior. Parts of the grounds and castle look a bit worn and would benefit from maintenance, but it's still an attraction worth visiting.

Singer castle was better than expected! The tour guide was awesome and did a good job explaining everything. Took the seadoo from the Ontario side and the dock hands were great.

The lady who gave us our tour was very informative and knowledgeable. They helped us dock our boat and let us walk around and take our time. The castle was beautiful.

Our tour guide was great, personable, engaging. The Singer Castle is beautiful. It's so nice to see the preservation. While this wasn't the original plan (Boldt Castle was closed for the season) this was well worth the visit.
