Great time! Boat ride relaxing and fun, scenery very pretty with perfect timing for the sunset. Virginia our tour guide, bartender and safety instructor was AWESOME!! Not only did she multiple task unbelievably, she was informative and funny and sweet beyond words! The bus driver on the way was great! Only comment was we didn't realize a big bit of time was on tour bus and not the whole time on boat. But may have been our lack of trading description. They were very accommodating as our friends purchased tickets for the wrong night but it wasn't an issue. Great time!
We did this when we first arrived in Boston. It was fun!
Nice stories, nice city tour. Highly recommend ! The lights, the sun fading in the distance was simply amazing !
Was fine and that is on me as I was expecting more - cruise on the river…. I was expecting it to be longer… but it was fine.
Very fun, nice pace, interesting information. My daughter and I enjoyed this outing. The tour guide was super fun! We stopped at one of the bars we passed and walked around Boston after the tour.
Our trolley guide Spencer was really great for your personable and knowledgeable, and it was a nice ride. I also found Patrick who guided our boat tour to be very entertaining.
It is over 2 hours long so plan dinner before or eating about 9:30. The North End restaurants are open late and it is a funny way to cap off the evening. It is a beautiful way to see the city at sunset. The guides are funny and informative. This is not the tour if you want a history lesson of Boston, that is something to do during the day. This adventure gives anecdotes and interesting facts about the city. It is a pleasurable evening experience.
Nice time, should be a little longer on the city trolley tour...nice boat ride on the Charles River.
We did this on our first night in Boston and it was a relaxing tour of the city without being on foot. The guy who narrated the cruise tour was the bartender, guide, and first mate lol- he was awesome!
We arrived an hour early due to giving extra time in case traffic was bad. Bc we were there early; we couldn’t locate the meeting place based on the different directions. The meeting place is near the street address not the end of the Marriott near the water. The word “tour” would imply that maybe some historical details would be included. Honestly I felt like it was just a ride to the river cruise. More historical details would have been appreciated.
