“Epic. They estimated around 20 humpback whale around us. Also saw dolphins and a sea lion. Spent plenty of time at Stellwagon bank watching them as well. I didnt love that they don't include pictures. I loved that on my Vancouver tour because I felt I could watch the whales vs snap photos. They did say they might post some on their Instagram later. I felt the seats were a little worn down as well. Loved the books and coloring sheets for kids. Overall just amazing.”

“The tour was great. They were able to accommodate us because we drove from Maine and were late so they just moved us to a different tour. The tour guide was very informative and wonderful. Very knowledgeable about Boston even information that wasn’t part of the tour itself. Very energetic and passionate about her job. Was excellent. On a side not couldn’t ask for a better day in Boston in the winter. Sun came out and was 60 degrees.”

I noticed other nearby tour “entourages” being drawn to our group, fascinated by the discourse. This tour offered things beyond the basic common knowledge of the colonial revolution. I highly recommend this tour to those who wish to add another level to their historical knowledge. It is well worth it.”

Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
