Great Boston Harbor Sail
The Sail boat was awesome ! It was so beautiful to be out on the water and really experience what it was like to be on a sail boat! The captain Anna was very awesome! Charlie, Alex, and Mike the deck hands were enthusiastic, friendly, fun! They offered to take lots of pics and kept the drinks comming!

Had a great day on the water. Spent 1 1/2 hours with the whales. The conservationist who narrated the trip was fun and knowledgeable. The entire staff on board was very friendly and very attentive. They came around often to check on anyone who needed help with being sea sick. Be sure to bring a jacket, sun screen, and water!

Impressive guide and tour!
Great tour. Our guide did an excellent job.
We did the tour on our first morning in Boston, this gave us a good layout of the land as we learned key landmarks for the next days on our own in the city. The pace was very doable for a person of average fitness. The presentation was informative and dynamic. Questions were handled with ease. Our guide was pleasant, spoke clearly and we could hear him well. We learned so much and had a great morning taking the tour. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting to go deeper than what walking the Freedom Trail alone could provide. You hear the story told in an enjoyable and interesting way, instead of just reading a bunch of signs. We were so glad we chose this tour group.

Great informative overview of Boston history
We really enjoyed this walking tour. It went for about two hours from the Boston Common to Paul Revere's house in the North End, and our guide had a constant supply of stories and facts to keep the group entertained.
He kept in character throughout, and did a great job in providing a rich historical perspective, capped off by describing the facts and circumstances of Paul Revere's ride.
While I don't remember the guide's name, he did the 1:30 pm session on May 18.

gregarious ghouls w/ guffawing
This tour was great but you have to be willing to lean into it to get the most out of it. Our guide corpse Dr Atticus Nobody was excellent. He had well-timed funny jokes and had us cracking up all night. The local history of Boston was on point and will told by himself and his partner Mateo along with our driver Maverick.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

Fun, Interactive, Educational
The experience was fun, lively, and easy to follow—even with kids in the group, it stayed engaging throughout.
That said, for the price, it felt a bit small and somewhat rushed, which was a little disappointing. Still, it was an enjoyable experience overall and worth checking out if you're interested in interactive history.

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.
