It was a very cold & windy day, but the sky was clear and the views were gorgeous! The narrator for our tour, Kevin, was fantastic! We learned so much. Comfortable indoor seating kept us warm & cozy, but we were able to venture outside too to take some photos.

Love this tour!!! The gentleman that spoke had an amazing voice and I could listen to him speak about Boston all day. He was very knowledgeable about the area. We really enjoyed our trip!

We did the 60 minute Historic Harbor cruise and loved it! Because we went in late March while it was still chilly, our boat was not crowded at all which was a huge plus. I can imagine that during nicer weather with a bigger crowd it can be more competitive to get the best seats, so make sure that you arrive well before boarding time to get in the front of the line. The cruise had live commentary (our guide was Liz and she was great!) and takes you all along the major points within the harbor and even points out some of the further out islands. It was a great way to see Boston from afar but also things like the USS Constitution up close. It did get quite windy and chilly, so depending on the time of year make sure that you dress appropriately (and bring a hat if it’s sunny). The boat itself was clean & well-maintained and had a bathroom and bar. We would absolutely do it again and recommend to anyone visiting Boston!
