Great experience

Great experience. The narrated guide was fantastic. We learned so much about Boston that we otherwise would not have known or even thought to learn/see. Trip inspired us to see the Old State House and Us Constitution. Will def be back to Boston to explore more thanks to this trip. It was about 1 hour which was perfect. Saw a lot, staff on time and very friendly.

Overall nice, but disappointing views

It was a nice boat ride with a charismatic narrator, Kevin. Also, the company policy is pretty accommodating. We were unable to make it to our orginially scheduled boat ride, and we were able to switch to a later one for no extra charge. I was disappointed in the included sites though. The views of the airport and the ship yards are underwhelming. Plus, we didn't see the lighthouse, which was my main draw to this cruise.

Not as I expected

The trip on the Harbor was beautiful but I was not expecting so much information on architecture and modern day occupants of impressive buildings. The info on the wooden ships docked was interesting, but not much history when you think of Boston.
