Great views on a pleasant boat ride.

Kay, Jul 2025
Very interesting . Great views of Providence from the river with great history included. Super informative, scenic, and fun. The ride lasted about 1.25 hours. We are staying near Convention Center and had a pleasant t walk to the location. The company was very responsive to our request on another of their tours.
