A great way to see Providence from a different perspective.My wife and I were only in town for a day and wanted to see the city. River cruises are a great way to see old cities from the original perspective of the traveler.

Captain Peter was an excellent historian, and made the ride interesting and fun! Ride is only an hour . . . so we were able to fit this in nicely with our other weekend plans.

This was a nice cruise on the Providence river. The captain was the best tour guide I have seen in many a year. Extremely knowledgeable and professional. Fascinating facts about the river, the harbor, and Providence. He also recommended one of the best seafood restaurants I have ever been to as well. many thanks!
