Top Boston Whale Watching

The guide David (I think) was very witty and made the experience. We were provided with lots of information. The trip was comfortable and aided by good weather. I would recommend this tour if you would like to know the history of how Boston was built. There is not any major information about the American Revolution so if that is what you are looking for, book a different cruise.

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!!

Such a fun way to tour Boston with teens. I had chaperoned a similar trip for my oldest daughter's 8th grade East Coast trip back in 2007, now that my younger daughters are around the same age, I wanted them to experience some of the highlights of that trip. All of the walking graveyard tours were already booked for the day we needed, reluctantly I paid the extra few dollars per ticket for the trolley tour. Turns out it was money well spent! The trolley was so much fun and the tour guide was able to really spin his tales while he had a "captive" audience. Our girls are young teens, making them the perfect age for understanding and appreciating the history without being scared of the ghost stories or graveyards. There was one younger child on the tour, maybe 7-8. They didn't seem scared, but it was hard to tell if they were understanding much of what was being talked about. on the technical side.. Ordering the tickets through Viator and accessing the tickets with my phone was very easy and convenient. This tour met up in a very different area of Boston than the daytime walking tour, so pay careful attention to that. We did the trolley tour in early April and although it did not rain, we definitely needed our hats, scarves, and coats. At the first stop we did not leave our backpacks/purses on the trolley for fear that we would not be sitting in the same seats, so we were lugging them through the graveyard, just to come back and be seated in the same seats. At the second stop the driver made an announcement that we could leave our personal belongings on the trolley. My suggestion would be to ask up front as you board, so that you aren't questioning it like we did. I happened to have cash and was happy to give the crew a generous tip at the end. Just a reminder to bring along a little cash if you are a tipper.
