We are local Bostonians who were looking for a fun way to spend Columbus Day weekend. We booked this tour last minute and we are so delighted that we did!
The driver communicated the details for every step of the day very clearly, had really funny jokes during the ride, and provided us with great local history. However, I so appreciated that the first half of the ride there was silent!
As someone who always needs a bathroom, I was thrilled to hear that even though there is no bathroom on the bus, we would stop about 45 minute into the drive at a McDonald's for a bathroom/food break.
The boat ride on Island Queen (which apparently ends Columbus Day weekend) was enjoyable and very smooth. All instructions were clearly laid out by our driver so there was no fumbling when we arrived at the port.
We opted to not do the guided tour but rather enjoy the local cottages, breweries, and light houses at our own pace. We have no trouble getting ubers on the island.
I'd recommend this to both visitors Boston to Boston and locals who are looking for a fun day trip.
