Good value for what we spent.

Get there 45 mins early if u want a good seat. Take your reusable water bottle. No food and No wine - only bottled beers and very limited liquor drink options. Plan accordingly ;) it was a pretty calm ride. Lots of good history. Hard to hear the lady but she meant well and was full of fun facts about Boston.

The tour was ok - it is a very large boat, which I did know when booking, but since I normally go with smaller group boat trips it was a bit of a shock. The queue to board was extremely long, and being later in the queue meant less likely to get good seats. There was still plenty of space on the boat. The bar line was fairly long and slow. The commentary was very interesting and the views were good too. I think probably overpriced given it is such a large group. Still enjoyed the experience

Great narrated tour of Boston Harbor capped off with a sunset. We had done the same tour several years ago and it was consistent with the previous. Fully recommend.
