    I visited the Eustice Estate today with my mom and brother. When we arrived around 2:30pm and purchased tickets at the visitor center, the nice woman working explained to us that Historic New England conducted surveys to find out how to get more Millennials into these home museums. Turns out, the answer is to give visitors lots of options! At this home museum you will take a self-guided tour where you can either speak with a docent, use their app and/or use the iPads located throughout. AND you can sit on the furniture, which is kind of cool (it's all been recovered though). Or just walk through and look. It's up to you! Because we visited in December, the house was beautifully decorated in a Victorian fashion for Christmas. The downstairs was also decorated with period furniture, much which is actually original to the house. The house was owned by the Eustice family for four generations, and only in the last few years was sold to Historic New England. The first floor has been restored to the way it would have looked in the Gilded Age. The upstairs had one or two rooms decorated, and there was an exhibit about fashion throughout time in Boston set up in the other bedrooms. The third floor servants quarters are roped off. I would say if you want to take your sweet time and read through all of the interactive bits, you should give yourself an hour. I'd love to see this place in the summer!

In the sweltering July 2026 heat we traveled by train to arrive in Quincy. Only to be lectured by a Park Ranger about how my backpack wasn't able to let us visit any of the locations. This same Ranger continued to lecture us on the possible heat closures and then chastise us for our lack of planning and prepartion to come and see the properties. How dare we come see a National Landmark and not think to plan in advance and get tickets. Listen my husband was having a history gorge on this trip so I wasn't going to pitch a fit. But, come on National Parks. We WANT people to be interested in our national history, be proud of our hertitage, and WANT to visit. Maybe we remove some barriers and not dress down visitors. Everything was closed for tours because of the heat risk. But, that sweet air conditioned bus was solid. Driver played good music, the AC was cranking and we were able to see all the different parts. The Park did have actors performing a scripted role of the Adams Family- they were impressive, the gardens of the home were beautiful. Additional bright spots: the movie was great at the welcome center. The Family history was amazing- the dedication and duty of service was astounding. The lessons and connection to a time gone by was great. Remove some barriers, be more welcoming, create more opportunities...

Mobsters and Lobsters is a mafia story laden trip that ends up at the south shore popular lobster eatery. Although Mother Nature and the traffic in downtown Boston decided yo play games with us the owner who's name actually is Tom Collins, started off with a quick quip yo get the folks settled and the first round of beverages were begun. Tom brings us around to the spectacular locations and spots where specific mobsters from the years past were doing their cunning and not so cunning work. Tom's knowledge for this thoroughly interesting topic is unmatched. His serious knowledge of the history of other significant historical places and events speckled with his dry "Bastan" humor. Made this trip extremely worthwhile. The duration was four hours long which also included a Lobster dinner at a local eatery on the south Boston harbor. I haven't laughed this hard in a long while. If you are in beantown for a spell. I highly recommend you and you motley crew join Tom for an interesting alcohol added trip back in time. I am positive your jaws and cheeks will be sore from laughing so hard. Be aware this is an "R" rated trip! But very worth it. Thanks Tom for making this a great memorable evening.

He knew of extra bars to stop by that do not include covers and free shots for the birthday person. He also stopped for hotdogs at one point. it is byob and your own playlist. There is truly no experience quite like it where you can jam to music and drink, while driving around Boston. Would recommend for any occasion.

The receptionist was friendly. The tour guide was phenomenal. Bearing a great, easygoing and a bit sarcastic personality, she was engaging, knowledgeable, funny and honest about her delivery. I learned a few things about the city and the famous schools from her personal opinion. Very steady and peaceful ride. Clean and well-maintained boat with a bar. Be mindful it's hot inside the boat with the scorching sun in PM so bring water, sun screen and hat, dress lightly. It was our second day in town our bodies still adjusted humidity and heat, I felt I was about to get a heat stroke. It'd be nice if they consider AC operated boat in the future.

The views were nice, but the experience turned sour quickly due to a lack of passenger care and extremely poor customer service. Halfway through the ride, we were filming the scenery at the front of the boat when, without warning, the captain blasted an incredibly loud horn as a "greeting" to another boat far in the distance. It was completely unnecessary, and the sudden, deafening sound startled everyone around us. I almost dropped my phone into the water. We went inside for the rest of the trip because we no longer felt safe or relaxed. Later that day, we emailed the company with our concerns and offered to send them the video showing exactly what happened. They didn't care. Instead, the Director of Operations, Gibson Cushman, dismissed our complaint, quoted Coast Guard rules (irrelevant in this case), and refused a refund. He offered a credit for another cruise, which felt like a cop-out since we're not local. His response made everything worse--tone-deaf, defensive, and full of excuses. He even tried to blame us, saying passengers should expect loud horns at any time. I had ringing in my ear for 48 hours--if we'd known something like this might happen, we could've worn ear protection. Overall, it was a stressful and disappointing experience. Their focus clearly isn't on guest satisfaction or safety--only on covering themselves. We won't be returning and wouldn't recommend them to others.

There's a lot of interesting and good information, and I liked the people. But.... The first half of the tour is in an old mini bus. The bus has tiny windows, like 4" square, and no air circulation. No fans. No air conditioning. Today was nearly 90 out by 10 am, when our tour started, and temperatures inside the bus got so hot that stepping out felt cool! You don't travel far, and then they stop for 10 minutes to talk about what's out the window. It's brutal. Ironically, the travel distances are so slim most people could walk it. But, just sitting on the bus in the heat? Yuck. The second half is in an old shed where you learn about harvesting. Again, it could be interesting, but it's a good 10° hotter, even with the fans going, and it makes it hard to focus. Or even listen. Better weather would have helped. But, we had an old lady in our tour group nearly pass out, and the guide indicated that that was not uncommon. Heck, complimentary water would be nice. Waters are a dollar. The tour is fifteen. It's all cash only.

    a BYOB Brews Cruise around Boston Harbor?! Yes, please!…read more Cycleboat Boston, based in Charlestown, is a family-owned company providing both public tours and private charters for up to 20-26 guests. Each boat has a central table with ice-filled coolers that is surrounded by 12 bike seats for passengers to pedal to power the boat but don't worry! You don't have to pedal, there is an outboard motor. And if pedaling isn't your thing at all or there's more than 12 of passengers, each boat has a comfy lounge area in the back that is set up for conversation, sipping on your drink and drinking in the views! All cruises are BYOB (cans only and no hard alcohol - a craft beer lovers dream) and you can also bring food/snacks on board! For our cruise, we enjoyed charcuterie cones from Kured.co and Scuba & I obviously had to bring along some on-theme beers including Cushnoc Brewing's 'Can't Buy Backbone' IPA, Wormtown Brewing's Summer Ale and a pounder of Montauk Brewing's Summer Ale (all purchased at Dion's in Waltham). As someone who is happiest in/on/near the water with a beer in hand and has so much pride in my city; this was a dream! I am actively looking for any excuse to get back out on a Cycleboat!
