It was unseasonably cold when I was in Boston, so when we were on the harbor cruise we needed to be inside. The diesel fumes were bad inside. Also the speakers were not working right so you only could hear about 1/2 of what the tour guide was saying. Really felt like a waste of time to me.

Spent about an hour and forty minutes leisurely cruising the spectacular and glorious Boston harbor. Commentary was especially informative. Water was calm so the boat felt safe and stable.

Great way to enjoy Boston from water, which is totally different has perspective. Our tour guide was very informative, learned about history on city of Boston, some of Massachusetts story & surrounding tiny islands. A must do while in Boston!
