Our harbor tour was great! The weather was working with us during our hour tour. Seeing Boston from the harbor was wonderful. Give you a different perspective. Plus, the guide was very good. Easy to hear, funny and very informative. I would highly recommend the tour.

A birthday gift for my husband & it was a unique adventure with great family time. Very comfortable, excellent food and fabulous staff.

The guide was very informative, excited and knowledgeable. We had a smaller group but we still really enjoyed it!!

I would suggest that if you're not prepared for cold chilly weather don't go during the winter months.

Except for the heat it was a real good outing, informative and friendly staff.
