We took the 90 minute historic cruise around the inner and outer harbours. It was a great opportunity to see Boston from a different perspective and to view the harbour islands. The commentary was informative and the Irish narrator easy to listen to. Relaxing to sit on a boat, there was always something to take our attention and of interest.

Very well organized, good trip...but... I rated this activity poor because the female narrator on the Aurora did not enunciate well and I could not understand her. None of the people in my group could understand her, nor anyone else I asked. Sights were lovely but I missed the interpretation! I could understand the first word and maybe last two words of each sentence. The rest was fast mumbling. Back on the bus I mentioned this to the tour guide and he told me he has had this complaint before and has passed it along to the tour company. If the same cruise narrator was narrating I would not recommend this cruise, but how would you know?!

Hi Captain J and thanks for your review. We're glad to hear that you thought it was a good trip but sorry that your experience was hampered by not being able to clearly hear the narrator. If you'd like to, please contact me at [email protected] to discuss your cruise and see what we can do to make it up to you. Thanks!
