Review

The cruise was smelly and noisy, we went on one historic place that I liked where I was able to see a canon being fired

Do it!

This was a great water tour with fantastic narration by Kevin. Very smooth ride. Drinks snd snacks are available. The Boston Skyline is now blazed into my memory. My favorite thing is the USS Constitution.

Kevin, the Best Tour Guide for the Best Tour

Okay if you go on this cruise and you have Kevin as your guide then you're in luck! Kevin was the most amazing guide that told us many things about Boston's history as we sailed around the harbor. We even got 2 loops in! Kevin has the perfect tour guide voice to clearly tell you all the interesting facts and to answer any question. He's very knowledgeable about not only the overarching history of Boston but also about the architectural history as well! My friends and I all agree that this was the best tour we were on during our trip. The views were also spectacular as we saw Boston highlighted at sunset from the sea. If you do go on this cruise in late summer/early fall then I recommend bringing a jacket since it gets chilly once the sun goes down. I would take this tour again and again if I could!

Good experience. It was...

Good experience. It was a calm safe ride. It was a little crowded and not what we were thinking but still enjoyed and had a good time
