I thoroughly enjoyed this boat tour! It was a solid hour of interesting facts and information about Boston, plus the views were beautiful from the water. Holly was our guide and did a great job -- we learned about Revolutionary War history, Boston buildings, famous ships, the harbor and its islands. There is even a Star Wars movie trivia moment! One of the best parts of the tour was the planes that were landing over the boat as we passed Boston Logan Airport. Tips: -Our tour guide was on the top deck with a microphone, so if you want a great view of the Boston area and see the tour guide, head to the top. -You save about $6 if you book via Tripadvisor. Otherwise, you pay tax at the ticket window. -There is a fun bar called The Landing next to the boat dock. It looked like a fun spot to hang out before or after the tour.

It was very informative and the guide was very good! We enjoyed the fun facts and history. Who knew most of land underneath Boston was man-made!

Enjoyed the history. The tour guide was obviously uncomfortable, felt bad for him. He knew his stuff for sure, though.
