It was wonderful to see the Boston Harbour from the water and to learn more of the history surrounding it.
It was a beautiful day and a nice way to see the city, some information given during the tour of the locations. . People were given drinks and the wind blew many cans and plastics into the ocean, I feel they should have announced for people to throw away their trash immediately when consumed or have someone walking around getting it into the trash,
Amy, thank you for booking a cruise with us and taking some time to provide your valuable feedback. We are pleased to hear that you appreciated the views and commentary, and we are sorry to hear that trash ended up in the water which we most certainly would hope to completely avoid. Your comments have been shared with our team so that we can take measures to avoid this in the future. Thank you for making us aware of this situation. - Classic Harbor Line Boston
Great cruise - lots of good info from the captain and he answered all our questions-enjoyable and relaxng
It looked like it might rain but the upper deck was covered and the seating was very comfortable. Loved the tour. Highly recommend it
The history shared was good. The sights we got to see were good. Bar in the boat was nice. Got some great pictures.
The location was great! Almost everything you would want to do is within walking distance! The hotel was clean and the staff were great! We did have an issue with the AC. We did notify the front desk and they gave us a fan to help. They said they put a work order in, but no one said if maintenance came or not. The room wouldn’t get below 74 degrees, we are use to 69 degrees to sleep.. The beds were okay and the pillows weren’t great. Overall, the room was spacious and clean.
Jeremiah, it looks like you may have inadvertently posted this review to the wrong business. We operate boat tours in Boston Harbor and do not have any hotel rooms. We kindly request that you remove this review and re-post it to the correct business. We do hope you will consider joining one of our boat tours! Thank you! - Classic Harbor Line Boston
Not a lot of information. Just a cruise with someone pointing out a few key buildings. No real introduction, just hop on and ride.
William, thank you for booking a cruise with us and taking some time to provide your valuable feedback. We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed by the level of narration on your cruise. For a more in-depth historical perspective with narration provided by a guide, we recommend the Historic Narrated Harbor Tour on Yacht Patriot. We hope you will have a chance to give that option a try on another occasion! - Classic Harbor Line Boston
Lovely tour of harbor sights! A great choice on a hot day with the ocean breezes! Crew is friendly and knowledgeable.
Nice little jaunt into the Harbor. First half of tour is a little blah, second half was more interesting.
