The Irish narrator was so charming and fun! He knew his stuff and added humor that we really enjoyed! They left right on time, ship was clean and comfortable. And even though it rained a bit during our tour we were still able to see and enjoy the entire trip!

Takes about 90 min. Very good history telling about Boston though my little one totally not interested. Worth going. Bought the city pass.

Hi YanxinG3 and thanks for your review. We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your cruise. Hope to see you again sometime in the future - maybe when your little one gets a little older history will be a little more interesting. : )

This 90 minute cruise was very interesting. Very educational and learning all the history of Boston was nice to know. There is sitting inside and outside and recommend you sit on the right side of the boat where you can view everything that is being talked about.
