Top Notch
We had the most amazing tour guide. She was knowledgeable, fun, and very thorough. I couldn’t imagine a better family experience! We could have just stopped by all of these places on our own, but hearing the history and little details about the places or people made this completely worth it!!

Fun outing!
This was a great tour and fantastic way to explore the city on foot. The walk is leisurely and not challenging (except for the occasional section of cobblestones) so it's good for all ages. We learned lots of colonial history, fun facts, and Boston highlights. Our guide was fantastic-- very knowledgeable and happy to answer questions and point out the best photo ops.

Do not book through Viator, book direct with the operator of the experience!
Do not book experiences through Viator. They incorrectly listed the experience and after I paid and arrived, the operator told me the listing was incorrect on the Viator website. After calling multiple customer support people and sending multiple emails, I have still not received a refund. I sent screenshots of the confirmation sent by Viator indicating that the information on the website was incorrect and still there has been no response or refund from Viator. The actual ferry experience was wonderful, I ended up having to purchase a new ticket directly through the ferry operator and pay, again, in full. I would highly recommend the experience but please save yourself the money and do not book through Viator. There is no guarantee the listing will be correct and if it is not, they will keep your money and make you run in circles to attempt a refund. Also, booking direct was $10 less!

Boston Tea Party Museum
An excellent re-enactment of the ‘Boston Tea Party’. All the ‘actors’ entered fully into the spirit of the event and brought it to life - they were even tolerant of us as British.
A nice touch was the opportunity to sample the five teas in the tea shop that were tipped into the harbour - although they were not really our cup of tea!

Very clean lovely boat...
Very clean lovely boat due to storm didnt get to enjoy the sun setting yet the experience was still totally worth the sight viewing while enjoying a good drink in a well heated space on the vessel. I would certainly recommend to anyone who ask me if it is worth it my answer would be yes.

A little worried it would be "too much"
Overall great experience. At first I was a little concerned I had booked something a touch too theatrical and would become annoyed 😆. But our guide Anthrax (? Demon) I believe was great he used just enough drama to be entertaining but stopped short of me wanting to toss myself out of the trolley. Really great way to see several burial grounds throughout the city and hear some new spooky tales. 👻

Great tour! Tour...
Great tour! Tour director was entertaining and knowledgeable, with a good combination of information and quiet time to just enjoy the harbor sites.
Travelled with a family member in a wheelchair. Staff was friendly and helpful!
I recommend this tour to anyone who wants to get some great pictures of the Boston skyline while learning some basic Boston history!

Great!
Easy booking, good communication. Boarding was slightly late due to a fuelling issue but we were advised beforehand.
Boat is comfortable and there are plenty of seats.
Narration on board is good with lots of interesting facts.
We were lucky enough to see Hump Back Whales and a couple of pods of dolphins.
Really great experience.

Great tour!
This was my second sail with this company, and my family’s first. It was exceptional. The crew was professional, informative, yet personable. We sat up near the captain, and he was very patient as a few in our group asked many questions! They adjusted the route due to high winds, but the tour was still amazing.

Tim and Jean from North Dakota
It was really easy the routes were great it is the best way to see the historic sites of Boston without having to drive. Very reasonable prices, my wife and I had a great time. We had Joey for a driver on multiple occasions and he was the greatest person and very knowledgeable. Give 10 stars to our man Joey.

Our afternoon sail was...
Our afternoon sail was cancelled due to the weather but these hosts made everything right! They called to let me know my options and I was able to get a sunset cruise the next day. Ship was in great condition and the hosts on the ship were knowledgeable and fun to speak with. Kept the atmosphere right with drinks and blankets on board.

Would go again!
Easy getting tickets online. Easy to get physical tickets one you’re at RowesWharf. Very good signage everywhere. Great communication about boarding and disembarking. The tour itself was very enjoyable, smooth on the water, and all the sights and landmarks were pointed out, with background info.
