Loved this trip and the historical perspective of Boston was handled in an entertaining way as opposed to feeling your were back in school.

I had booked this cruise a while ahead, and the weather on the day of the cruise could not have been worse. It was a large boat, but there were only 7 of us on the day, due to the weather. I was impressed that they went ahead with the cruise. Upon reflection, it was probably a good thing to do on such a miserable day. We were warm, dry, could see the sights clearly and learnt a lot about the area from the commentary. Whatever the weather I would recommend the cruise as you see things from a different perspective seeing it from the water.

My wife and I took the 11am Historic Sightseeing Cruise. It was a pleasant and fun Harbor Cruise. Declan our tour guide was very knowledgeable of the history throughout the harbor. And he told a good joke or two. He’s definitely an asset to the Cruise. The weather was nice as we sat up top. My advice is to arrive early so you can sit up top.
