Tour Description
Step off dry land and head out onto the water to experience Boston like never before!
This 2-hour tour offers spectacular views of historic and contemporary architecture along Boston Harbor, through the Charles River Locks, and the Charles River Basin.
The tour - narrated by a Boston By Foot guide - includes landmarks such as the Custom House, the Hancock tower, and Old North Church. These are simply the best waterfront views of Boston and Cambridge!
The boat has a cash bar where guests can purchase drinks: beer, wine, soda, and premium mixed drinks. Lights snacks including chips and pretzels are also available.
