The captain was a great projector (vocally speaking), so no need for worries with regards to missing any details on the tour!
Had a great time!

It was a beautiful day and a great tour. The captain was full of knowledge of the area, very easy to hear and understand. Check-in was very easy, and after a short walk across the street to the river, there was an easy ramp to get into the boat. Great tour!
It was very interesting. I learned a lot about Providence.
