What an amazing experience! Everything was perfect from our purchase to sailing on the Adirondak III. The weather and views were perfect and the crew was amazing. Charlie and Hannah worked hard to get the sails up and then they walk around waiting on you (drinks and cocktails) on the moving vessel so easily. It was an ex Cc ellent trip and we got a lot of nice pictures.

I highly recommend the guided Freedom Trail with someone in period dress. Our guide was John Hancock. Not only did we learn more about this founding father than he signed the Declaration of Independence with a large signature, but we were also able to see where history took place. Fascinating! We have been blessed. Our guide did a wonderful job keeping up with a large tour group! Our personal family has 4 children ranging in age from 17 yrs to 10 yrs. They all were glad they did this trail even if they started for “mom”. They also said they appreciated having the period guide and thought our tour was much more interesting for having John Hancock than the other tours they saw taking place with “modern tour guides”. As expected, it was a lot of walking so wear comfortable shoes. Bring water with you. None of the walk was difficult. There were some uneven surfaces (cobblestone type, cemetery portion, up and down from curbs, etc.). Our pace was purposeful but comfortable. Our guide pointed out additional historic places/museums you can visit separately so the Freedom Trail would be a perfect start to your visit to Boston. We did our tour late morning on July 4th. Happy 250th Birthday USA!!!! It was hot but our guide was very considerate to find shady places for us to stop along the trail. John Hancock, you did an excellent job!!! I don’t know how you managed your period dress in the heat.

We really enjoyed our Freedom Tour. It was a great way to learn about the history and hear the stories behind the places we visited. Our guide, Elliot, was fantastic. She was very knowledgeable, friendly, and did a great job explaining things in a way that was interesting and easy to understand. You could tell she really knew the history and enjoyed sharing it with everyone. The tour was well paced, informative, and enjoyable from beginning to end. We would definitely recommend the Freedom Tour and hope others get the chance to experience it too.

My boyfriend and I truly enjoyed this Brunch/Harbor Cruise. It was, sadly, a rainy day but there is full capacity indoor seating so not to worry, we stayed warm and dry. They way the tables are set up, you can see great from any one of them but we got a great table at the front of the boat. The ship's captain narrates all points of interest and though I practically live in Boston, I still gleaned some new details that I did not already know about some of them. The crew was friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. There was MORE than enough food for everyone on board and I found the food to be fairly decent enough for a brunch cruise (I mean, it's not a 5 star resort, it's a BOAT) with plenty of variety of foods and everything was tasty and seemingly fresh. I will add that I bought my tickets through Viator last minute because I didn't want to miss out but there were plenty of tickets available at the dock and they were about half the price.

Saba did a great job telling us about the culture, history and architects that influenced the Boston skyline. She is very knowledgeable on photography angles, approaches and editing and strives to make everyone a better photographer. She appreciates aches with humor and you can truly tell she enjoys honing peoples skills.

This was a very cool tour! Yes, the donuts were indeed delicious, however, the tour guide brought Boston’s history alive. Jackie was the best tour guide I have ever seen. She is fun and vibrant. Viator should never lose her. She could guide any tour and make it extraordinary! Thanks Jackie!🩷 Melissa

This was a fun, historical, spooky tour of Boston! Olivia, our tour guide, kept everyone engaged, was very entertaining, and knowledgeable on all this history. Having stops at the bars provided nice walking breaks while still keeping the stories going. The walking is not a long route. Would definitely recommend for others to try it out.

They are not kidding when they say late arrivals will miss the boat. Boston traffic was crazy and we arrived 5 minutes just in time to wave goodbye to our friends on board leaving port. Our friends on board enjoyed the cruise but said it was crowded and there was not enough inside seating. Moral of the story arrive early and plan for Boston traffic.
