I took the 1pm Harbor Historic Tour on a Thursday. A business in the Boston area was apparently having an event on the cruise. The people from that company were rude and loud compared to the others who bought their tickets on their own. They were talking the entire time the narrator talked and so you couldn’t really hear anything he was saying. They also proceeded to stand right in front of the people who were trying to take photos/enjoy the cruise. I’m sure it would have been good if it weren’t for the unnecessary rudeness these people exhibited. It would have been appreciated for the company to tell others that a business would be having a catered lunch on the cruise so that maybe they could choose a different time and not have to deal with this issue.

This gives you a great view of the buildings & everything surrounding the water way. It's a 90 minute cruise & is very informative. Plus plenty of history
