Super informative. Our guide Kevin did an amazing job. The history of the islands and how Boston is mostly sitting on made land was very interesting.
Get there 45 mins early if u want a good seat. Take your reusable water bottle. No food and No wine - only bottled beers and very limited liquor drink options. Plan accordingly ;) it was a pretty calm ride. Lots of good history. Hard to hear the lady but she meant well and was full of fun facts about Boston.
The tour was ok - it is a very large boat, which I did know when booking, but since I normally go with smaller group boat trips it was a bit of a shock. The queue to board was extremely long, and being later in the queue meant less likely to get good seats. There was still plenty of space on the boat. The bar line was fairly long and slow. The commentary was very interesting and the views were good too. I think probably overpriced given it is such a large group. Still enjoyed the experience
Great narrated tour of Boston Harbor capped off with a sunset. We had done the same tour several years ago and it was consistent with the previous. Fully recommend.
Beautiful, majestic and patriotic sunset cruise!. Excellent and informative narrative. Pleasant atmosphere . Wonderful cityscape. Beautiful islands. Retired color and gun salute on USS Constitution
The ride was smooth and the tour guide was knowledgeable and funny. The tour was a last minute decision and it was completely worth it.
Trip was cancelled by operator within an hour of scheduled start time. No other options were available for rescheduling
Be there before the boarding time so your first in line a get a good spot on the boat narrator is funny
Superb way to learn so much of the history in Boston. My son and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and the narration whilst taking in all the breathtaking views.
Great cruise! Lots of good information and beautiful sunset. Good variety of drinks at the bar. Highly recommend!
