Recently went on the history cruise of the harbour and found it to be very informative. Declan was our tour guide and his Irish humour made for a fun 90 minutes. Good value tour & great history lesson.

My husband chose this as an outing for our family on Father's Day. We went with our 3 19 year old sons. It was a gorgeous day on the Harbor.and we learned some history of the buildings along the Harbor. My sons and husband enjoyed touring the Casin Young ship and Constitution though, they would have like to have toured more of the ships---most areas were blocked off. My sons were hoping it would be more like the ships at Battleship Cove where they could really explore.

This was a perfect cruise to understand the history of Boston and to get to know the area better. The man who spoke and the crew were very professional and were able to explain about the water around Boston and how important it was in the past, and still is. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone who would like to know the history of Boston.
