Sunset view of Boston Harbor

Great sunset view even though it was overcast and cold. Narrator guide was excellent

Boston at sunset

If it's in October, dress warm. And expect to be amazed. From the sunset to the night view, it was amazing. Hollie was very knowledgeable and gave a great presentation.

Disappointed

This was disappointing 😞 Just pulled out into the harbor and could barely see the sunset beyond the buildings. We expected to view from the other side of the buildings

Beautiful skylines

My husband and I enjoyed this sunset cruise after a busy day of walking tours. Beautiful views of the skyline - loved seeing the canon fire in the bay at sunset!

Great tour & narrator....

Great tour & narrator. Sunset was the best tour to take as they stopped by the USS Constitution as it fired off one of its cannons at sunset.
