We really enjoyed the Boston Historic cruise! We sat on the top of the boat close to the presenter. He was fabulous! We learned so much about the Boston Harbor and surrounding waters. We got to see several important monuments, locations, and ships of our country's/Boston's vast history. Our narrator/tour guide, Kevin, was incredibly informative and the way he presented the information was fun and almost like we were in a story! We got to see the Bunker Hill monument, the USS Constitution, and more!

We did the Boston Harbor sunset cruise on Friday July 24th. It was a beautiful and informative time. We watched planes from the Boston airport land and take off. We saw the end of day ceremony at the USS Constitution. They offered food and drinks for purchase. The entry and exit process was smooth and there were plenty of seating options. We really enjoyed the cruise!

The cruise was a lovely experience despite the rainy weather. It was great historical experience with a unique vantage point, different from the many other Boston historical experiences. The narrator Emily was great. Al the staff was very helpful and experienced.

Adam was great and very informative. We learned lots of history about the coastline of Boston. The only negative was that there was a small group of guests that were inconsiderate of others- were loud, and thought they were on a party cruise

Great looking for my refund for these tickets. This part of my party couldn't make it because their flight was cancelled.
