Traveler reviews
Great day to be a tourist on the water in our city !
Emily was a great narrator. The tour covered several historic locations and the stories behind them. Dress warmly! 100 recommend. It was a beautiful sunny day on the water.
Discount Offered is Kind of a Scam
The Boston Harbor cruise was great. However, using the Viator app was a bit of a scam if you only have two people. They send you a discount code that you can’t really use since most tours total just under the $100 minimum. The app also won’t let you book two different tours which would give a person enough $$ wise for the discount code. Seems like a pretty effective hook to get you to try out the app thinking you are getting a 20% off when iin reality you don’t undercut at all. Don’t offer a discount if you are going to make it realistically unusable.
Great view
You get to see a bunch of sites from a different view it was nice to see things you can’t see from land.
Sights worth seeing
Amazing experience. Narrator was exceptional. Great tour of Boston harbor. Enjoyed the boat and views.
Good time
It was enjoyable- the tour guide was humorous and knew what she was talking about. We learned a lot and she gave us good tips on where to go next
