    Boston Duck Tours - The Captain giving his speech

    Coming from California, I had thought we were going to go duck watching. Another thought we were…read morepaddling around in a kind of swan boat. Turns out the Duck Tours were tours in semi-aquatic buses that mix history, jokes, and sightseeing. We also got to go into the water and folks took turns driving the duck boat. What was delightful about our tour was our captain who entertained us with magic tricks, punny jokes, dad jokes, and history. We quacked at passerbys, other duck tours, recent graduates, kids in hi-vis vests. He pointed out the marines organized in a park with the Osprey and other planes. I left my knowledge of American history in elementary school, so everything was super fascinating to me. I thought my honey would enjoy this being a historian and all but he didn't care for the jokes, which I thought were the best part. Oh well. Worth a tour when you're in the Boston area!

    NEW ENGLAND AQUARIUM DEPARTURE LOCATION…read more The customer service is absolutely terrible. I would not recommend it whatsoever, especially not for a school trip. I went here for my school trip to Boston and my group got treated horribly. The driver was kind and professional, but the assistant's behavior and the overall organization were very poor. When we boarded the bus, we were told we could sit wherever we wanted, so we took the first four seats on both sides. No one on the bus complained. When the assistant got on, she said we had to sit in assigned seats. One older man politely asked where it said that, since there was nothing mentioned about assigned seating. The assistant responded that it was an assigned system, so there were assigned seats. The man checked his receipt, and the assistant mocked him and gave him a nasty look. Everyone was annoyed that they had to change seats. A couple minutes later, she told my school that we had too many people on the bus. One of our chaperone said, "You said 14 students." She replied, "No, I said 14 of you." My chaperone responded, "Oh, that must have been a misunderstanding." After that, the assistant kept blaming us and did not apologize at all, continuing to give nasty looks and a rude attitude. She also said that if we had a problem, we could report her to her manager (she was counting us as we boarded). Then two people went to a different bus. After that, she said we still had one extra person, so someone had to get off and go on another bus. When she said it again, our only chaperone said, "I don't know what you want us to do. You told us 14 students, and now you're kicking most of us off. Do you want me to get off?" The assistant gave her a nasty look and said a chaperone needed to stay on the bus. So my chaperone had enough and said, "Okay we're all getting off, and I will be reporting you." The assistant mocked her and said, "Go right ahead." As we were getting off the bus, she continued giving us nasty looks. Once we were off, the assistant started arguing with my chaperone, and I said, "No, you're just rude." She was being much ruder than what im saying but--I have never experienced such bad customer service. My group walked away, and the assistant stood with her coworkers, all of them giving us nasty looks. On the other two buses from my school, their assistants were calling us rude and disruptive. Our chaperone ended up paying out of pocket for all 14 of us to go to the New England Aquarium. If you are planning a class trip, I would 100% recommend the aquarium over the duck tour. The staff at the aquarium were very kind, and it was really fun, while 99% of the people (in my school) who went on the duck tour said it was boring and most people slept.

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.

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.

The family and…read morefriends that joined us, the amazing staff, and our first mate/onboard manager Allison made it a night we will truly never forget. Thank you again to everyone that made that night so perfect! We want to give a special shout out to our event coordinator, Kaitlin. We initially had two separate venues for our wedding. We planned to have just the reception on the Henry Longfellow, while the ceremony takes place in Boston. It was only a month out from our wedding day, when our ceremony venue fell through and we had to scramble to find an alternative solution. During that stressful time, Kaitlin did an amazing job working with us to combine our ceremony and reception on the Henry Longfellow. She was comforting, accommodating, and a joy to work with. We couldn't have planned our wedding without her! The absolute best!!! Sincerely, Brian & Katy

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.

I'm so glad we did because it was a fun and interesting experience. The actors are in character and passionate about their roles which makes it fun. They also ask people from the audience to have a speaking part which makes it interactive. It was neat going on one of the ships and kids threw tea over the side. It was interesting to hear the story of the day, what happened to some of the people who participated and how they kept the story alive for so long. Loved seeing one of the crates that was thrown over and how families kept it and some tea safe. Everyone in our group had fun and enjoyed the experience. It's definitely worth it. Abby's Tea Room at the end is nice too.

Who could say no to that? It starts out in a meeting room where everyone is given a profile card of a real person from the period. My wife even got a speaking role. Then thy take you out to one of the two ships where you get to tour the ship as well as throw tea boxes and loose leaf tea overboard. You then move inside again for some video presentations as well as a chance to see actual artifacts from the tea party like an actual tea crate. Had no idea that even still existed. And you finish off with a gift ship and cafe with some darn good cookies. Overall a fun and educational experience.
