Perfect views - One for the Family Photo Gallery. Great views and history. Will be coming back for future memories. The USS Constitution was historical, and we got to see it shoot off a cannon. Remarkable.

Value for the money - Very good guiding salong the cruise to learn more about boston harbor and its surroundings.
The ship itself is pretty old, and the standard is lot the best. We were Lucky to have nice weather so we could sit outside.

Great cruise - Beautiful views of the harbor and great commentary! Well worth the cost and we even got a great bakery recommendation which we tried out later on the trip.

A great way to see Boston - The sunset was spectacular, the commentary was clear, interesting and educational. A bonus was the low flyovers of planes heading for Logan. The transition from light to dusk to dark was magical and showed off the waterfront magnificently

Nice ride but terrible crowd and not good if the weather is bad. - The staff were really nice but unfortunately I couldn’t hear a word they were saying on the guided tour because 80% of the attendants were just talking to each other and not even paying attention to the views, completely drowning out the speaker. There was also terrible weather when we went so we were mostly in the inside portion of the boat with limited visibility and no real sunset. That part obviously isn’t the company’s fault but definitely made it a less enjoyable experience than good weather.

Deceiving - I don't understand the purpose of this cruise. No sunshine, 30 seconds to see the skyline, mainly the industrial part of the port... Not many explanations, the boat is not well aging.. basic and with chairs only to sit, a bit creepy, not a single music note to add a bit of charm... Deceiving.

Never happened, no communication from Viator, - Experience didn’t happen. No email telling us it was cancelled. Walked around in the rain looking for meeting point. Had to get in touch for refund, the person on end of chat was helpful and got refunded. However if we knew it was cancelled we could have used that time better to do something else in Boston. Will hesitate to use viator again after using many times before.
