Great way to learn about Bostons history. Perfect length too. Our guide, Kevin with the kilt, was excellent. The boat was comfortable and easy to access.

We booked a cruise for Mother’s Day. Difficult to find the boat. Dock is at the aquarium. We did miss our boat but I contacted visitor and we were able to rebook on the next boat. The tour was great, the guide was knowledgeable and even though we live in Massachusetts we learned a lot. It was a beautiful day to cruise Boston harbor. Planes were landing throughout the tour if you are into that
Scam company

Terrible customer service!! they charge my credit card in advance when the website specifically says put credit or debit card on file and it will not be charged. You have a 24 hour cancellation rate and this company charged my card not more than an hour after I put it on there and there was nowhere to cancel. they tried to say they would see if I qualified for a refund.
A dose of local color.

We had some unscheduled time on mother's Day morning so my son and I decided to take a harbor tour. After 2 days of rain it was a beautiful sunny day. The narrator was informed and entertaining. I'm a visitor from Cleveland and I learned a lot about the Boston harbor and its history.
