1.00Booked online. Received ticket with no info on where to board or go. Went to every station and no one knew what ship it was and where it left out of. I booked with the actual Boston city tour people and they guided me where I needed to be and at what time. Never going through trip advisor again. Ya stole $112 from me.

1.00This was a horrible experience. We came from Iowa and had this booked for 7pm. We arrived there a minute or two before 7pm, and the ship was closed. We are not familiar with this area, and I tried to explain our situation to the man that was in charge, and he would not listen. He was EXTREMELY rude and disrespectful. Not sure why he has the job he has. I will never use your services again and I plan on telling others my experience.

4.00The only drawback was we were unable to sit on the top deck and had to watch from inside the 2nd deck which wasn't a problem except for the ice cold AC which was relentless compared to the size of the space. Felt like a popsicle by the time we returned to Port.
Not enough seating on top...

2.00Not enough seating on top deck; had to sit mid boat; not a good view. Pass by wasn’t what I expected.

4.00More info about decks, seating. Ship (BayState) could use some TLC, guide in red shirt and kilt was awesome and knowledgeable. Pictures were cheesy and not interested in that type of trap.

5.00Had a wonderful time on the sunset cruise. Our narrator was fun and engaging. Absolutely loved the USS Constitution. The only downside was the snack bar. Only one attendant working for the entire ship so the line was insane. She was friendly and helpful, but definitely needed another set of hands. Also, more food options would have been nice, as potato chips and candy were the only snacks. Definitely not a deal breaker, but thought I would mention it in case anyone else was curious about snacks and drinks. Make sure to get in line early so you have a good seat!
good guide; average boat
