Top Boston Tours, Sightseeing & Cruises

Absolutely the best tour we had on our trip. Tony is an excellent storyteller and he made every second of the tour interesting. As a long time true crime junkie, I was pleasantly surprised that I had only heard of 2 of the crimes he told us about. Do not skip out on this tour.

Incredible tour, very scenic and beautiful with loads of history. Plus Jonathon (Thatch) is the best tour guide I’ve ever had! He was full of information, a great conversationalist, and was fun and considerate. I wish I could have him guide all the tours I go on!

I had a six hour layover in Boston and decided to take this walking tour to get a quick overview of the landmarks and history. So glad I did! Very informative and easy way to get the lay of the land, learn about the historical sites and their significance. Getting to the tour was really easy using the free silver line bus from the airport to South Station. I didn’t realize it at the time, that I could have taken the red line train to downtown. Instead, I walked the 10-15 minutes—but didn’t mind since the weather was nice and I was able to see other parts of the city.

This was a great tour! Our guide, Catherine, was super informative and had a great personality. The tour felt very interactive, and it was evident that she genuinely enjoys her job. I would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Boston! It was the perfect length to get just enough information and history about the area without feeling overwhelming.

We had a great time on our Martha’s Vineyard tour! Rory was our driver and he was fantastic very friendly, knowledgeable, and informative throughout the entire tour. He shared so many interesting facts about the island and made the experience both fun and enjoyable. It was a wonderful way to see and learn about Martha’s Vineyard. Highly recommend the tour, and especially Rory!

The first time I went to Boston I did one of the guided tours by a man dressed as a colonial. He was awesome. Funny, and it was a very good tour, but when my husband and I went back the following year I felt like there was a lot we skipped over and I needed a better history lesson. This listening tour was excellent! We were able to sync our AirPods so that we stopped and were looking at the same thing at each stop. So much information. Good guides and easy to listen to and navigate!

50,000,000/10 experience, best tour I've ever been on, our tour guide, Justin did a wonderful job of balancing historical information with spiritual information. He was very outgoing, friendly, and comedical. That guy deserves a standing ovation and 800 raises. He truly made the experience.

What a delight. The ambiance was perfect. Decorated with wreathes and garlands and light. A LOVELY jazz band played tasteful holiday tunes throughout the ride. The hot chocolate was DELICIOUS and unlimited! And they had a cool whipped cream dispenser for exceptionally yummy and fresh whipped cream. Coffee was also available for free, so we made a coffee-hot chocolate. So yummy. They also offer “spiked” hot chocolate from the bar. You can purchase special liquor combinations in fancy cups to then add to your hot chocolate as well. We got baileys and peppermint schnapps to add to ours which was also very good. Overall, it was a relaxing, cozy and fun boat cruise for this time of year. Here are some tips: 1)We went on the 3pm ride which I’d highly recommended. It’s an hour and a half and so we finished promptly at 4:30. The sun set at 4:22 so the lighting over the harbor was so perfect even with some haze in the sky. Plus once you exit, it’s perfect timing to head to your favorite spot for a dinner reservation. 2) Bring some small games! You’ll get an assigned table spot which I thought helped make it stress free. Our group brought small travel-sized versions of Bananagrams and Qwirkle to play on the ride. It was perfect! The games plus the music, hot chocolate, jazz music, and the peaceful ride in the harbor made such a perfect combination for a memorable afternoon.
