“An off the wall adventure but really fun! Our guide, the Viking, was super funny & very entertaining & informative! A unique experience!”
Fast Boston whale watching from Long Wharf with aquarium naturalists, big window views, outdoor decks, and a 3.5 to 4 hour outing.
“It was the best day of my life. You need to be prepared that you might not be able to see the whales since they are wild animals, but if you do, it’s a wonderful experience. We were told that when we participate, we contribute towards the research being done on these wonderful creatures. Worth every penny.”

“Our guides, Gary and Charles were great! We felt safe throughout the ride (traveling with kids 13 and 11) and we learned a lot about the city! Highly recommend: it is a great way to get familiar with the area.”
A guided Boston bike tour hitting key neighborhoods and landmarks, with helmet fitting, major stops, and optional e-bikes for $78.
“What a great way to see the city!! Great tour, great guide! Just be aware that the bikes are pedal-driven. There isn’t a throttle, so you do have to pedal to make the bike go. It’s still very easy, but if go into it thinking you won’t need to pedal, that’s not how it works. Highly recommend.”

“Very poor experience this evening with a large private party on board a sight sighting tour that were not interested in the sights at all. They were incredibly noisy drawing out the onboard tour guide on the middle deck and due to alcohol sold onboard became more and more obnoxious as the tour went on, staff were spoken to and disregarded our concerns and told us to move rather that dealing with the situation.”
