Our guide was funny, entertaining and taught us a lot about the area. We booked the tour at the end of our weekend and I wish we would’ve done it 1st, only because he mentioned so many cool places we would’ve liked to have visited if we had the time. We will definitely go back to Boston now!

Years ago my family took a day trip in Boston Harbor in our runabout. This was about 50 years ago and needless to say the harbor is MUCH improved. Our guide Declan was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Sit in the open up top or go to the bow--it's breezy but unless it's January you won't freeze to death. I'd not seen this much of the harbor (as my mum made my dad turn back as she was in hysterics) and the history was amazing. Makes me want to visit the harbor islands and hike. Great for families with older kids who are interested in history.
