A must if you stay as a tourist in Boston. Well organized, on time and you get a great impression of this beautiful place
Nice trip around the harbor with a bit more emphasis on the airport than needed. Overall some new facts which as a resident of Boston was great to learn.
My Partner and I had an amazing experience! the whole crew were fantastic from the staff who checked our tickets to the very funny gentleman who's voice is still in our heads till this day (as he promised) would recommend this experience to all friends and family.
Tour guide was informative but boat was packed and had to sit on inside where we couldn’t see much or take pictures.
Never been to boston before and wanted a boat ride around the harbor while also learning a little about what we were seeing. This cruise was perfect for that. The guide gave so much good info and history about the city, architecture and what we were looking at it was great. You can get up and walk around the boat to take pictures or stay seated with the seats facing where the guide is referring. Nice tour length too at 1 hr. Not too short not too long. Perfect if you have other things to do that day. Definitely worth the price
My husband and I had an amazing time on this tour of Boston! The views were amazing and our guide Mike C. kept us intrigued and entertained. Highly recommend if you visit Boston
Great experience. Wonderful tour. Excellent tour guide. Gives a fun and co prehensive tour of the bay area in a fun environment for the entire family
Highly recommend doing this! It was so nice to see all the harbor sites with the informative history with it. Our tour guide, Emily, was great! This was so fun to do, especially with the hot weather!
This was a very relaxing and very interesting ride! I was not expecting to enjoy it and learn as much as I did about the history of the harbor. Highly recommend!
Super experience, great impressions and humorous and very interesting tour guide and commentator! At one hour long, it's just right, especially with children!
