Matthew does an amazing job providing history about Boston and the surrounding area. He navigated us around traffic, taking alternative routes through picturesque towns.
We arrived in Woods Hole with plenty of time to shop a little and have a comfort stop before loading on the Ferry. The return trip was great and he provided us with a list of great restaurants in the Boston area.

A History Lesson on a Trolley
A pleasant trolley ride through the streets of Boston. Our driver was a very knowledgeable Guide, as well. As we passed important sites and buildings/churches, he gave detailed information about early Boston and its role in the American Revolution. He also, gave us recent History regarding the city. One could get off the Trolley and explore a site such as the ship, Old Ironsides., and then pick up a new trolley 20 minutes later and continue through the city.

A Hauntingly Good Evening
My wife and I have gone on a number of ghost tours in cities across the United States, and this was one of our favorites — and I just because we were riding in a themed trolley! Each one of the guides was fully in character throughout and provided a ton of interesting facts about the city, its hauntings, and some of its most famous former residents.
In addition to hearing scary tales, we appreciate learning things we had never considered before. This tour did exactly that — while balancing some light humor throughout. If you have a few hours to spend in Boston, this is totally worth the time

Highly recommend
Jasper, Logan, and Jessica (the crew) made it a great experience. On top of being able to ride on a tall mast ship in Boston Harbor, they were able to answer all our questions and even include us in some of the things they were doing so we could see what it’s like. Thank you very much for making our last day in Boston a memorable one.

Awesome tourist attraction!!
I had David as our tour narrator and he was amazing!! As a solo traveller I was skeptical on doing this alone but as soon as I got on the boat it was super easy and super fun! Dave is hilarious and has a great sense of humour! Didn’t think this was really my thing but LOVED it and so glad I went!! I learned so much!

Historic notes with a love of Boston
I only had a few hours for my first time in Boston, so I chose this brief tour of the Freedom Trail. It was the best choice! Covered so many highlights and our guide was fabulous. So much information presented with an obvious love of this historic city and the country Boston played a pivotal part in founding.

Informative, engaging, and fun!
Very fun and informative! Our tour guide, John Hancock, had lots of interesting and detailed stories about his history and the founding of the country. He played the character very well and made the history engaging and fun. We learned a lot and had lots of laughs along the way. Thanks for the great time!!

We had a great time on the sunset tour! Service was great and the views were beautiful! We even got to see the USS Constitution fire a canon! The only downfall was it was hard to hear the captain's commentary over the speakers. Not really sure what he was explaining about the places we passed. We would do it again if ever in Boston!

A well-rounded experience
Our family LOVED this. The whole experience was WAY more interesting and informative than I expected. I was concerned it would just be cutesy for young children, but the history, storytelling and technology were really impressive. The actual "tea party" part was literally 10 minutes of an hour+ long experience, but the rest was so engaging that it didn't matter at all. And afterwards, the cafe offered a bottomless tea tasting of the five varieties originally found on the ship that night -- that was one of my favorite parts, what a unique idea! Billy was a GREAT host and stayed in character the whole time. I'm so glad we booked this experience.

Overall a lovely...
Overall a lovely experience. Friendly staff, plenty of seating area to the right of check in spot while waiting for the checking time. Lots of cool fun facts during ride and lots of seating options. I sat inside and stood outside. It was 30ish degrees so not many people were outside.
Views were really pretty. Enjoyed watching the planes fly over us every few minutes. Plenty of charging ports inside and cool that there were restrooms onboard.
Be mindful that the ticket that is added to your Apple Wallet is not used for check in. You have to enter the building where you purchase tickets, they’ll ask you for your name and give you a physical ticket that you hand over at the check in gate. I was not aware of this, but it was not far away so I didn’t miss the check in window.
For my first trip to Boston, this was definitely a core memory.

Loved it !
This was well worth it. Would do it again. Once we were in “whale-territory” they took their time letting us observe the whales, while explaining what the whales were doing and then searching for and finding more whales to appear. On the way back we had the opportunity to ask more questions.

Great day with coworkers on the water
We had a great day! It was an impromptu team bonding opportunity, and the weather was perfect to be on the water. The crew was kind and informative, but let us have our own space and conversations, but there when you wanted them. The captain had been sailing this ship for 10 years and was a true pro. Unlike lots of sailboat excursions, the captain cut the motors and ran by sail for almost the entire trip. Loved it!
