The Boston Duck Tour is great fun for out of towners but even if you live here you can enjoy it - especially good to bring visitors. It is the most fun way to see the city quickly especialy for those that cannot walk long distinces. They bring you all around the city and give great commentary and then drop you into the Charles. Kids can even get a chance to help steer the boat. Best of all, you can quack at the onlookers...and if you are lucky they will quack back!

If you have exhausted your options, or if you are just tired of the city and want to get away for a day (or more) this is the place for you. Boston Harbor Cruises brings you right out to Georges Island where an old Military Fort is located. This is a fast and fairly cheap way to get away for a day and have a picnic or just walk around the fort and take in some history. Be careful of the prices of the concessions there, they can be pricey. Bring plenty of water also. Don’t expect sandy beaches and ocean swimming, but do expect a relaxing and fun afternoon with a great view of the Boston skyline.

I did not think I wanted to take the Trolley Tour, but was talked into it. It was a chilly autumn day and some of the trolley's plastic windows made it difficult to see, but overall, it was a positive experience. The drivers told interesting stories and historical facts about the city, each driver with their own personality thrown in. (I could have done without the recorded celeb stuff though.) The fact that you can get on and off the Trolley system makes it a great way to get around the city as a tourist, too. Knowing this now...I definitely would try this starting out early in the day...so that we could get on and off more. Overall, I guess I would recommend the Old Town Trolley Tours, though they are a bit pricey.

This tour highly exceeded my expectations. The staff was not only friendly and welcoming but highly knowledgable, witty and entertaining. The driver I had was all of these things and more. I learned more in under 2 hours than I could have from any guidebook. Seeing these historical sites up close from a warm and cozy trolley was priceless. I got the 2-day pass and I am so glad I did. If you think about it, it's cheaper than any taxis you'd take and you have on/off priviliges. Highly Recommended.
Pros: Staff, Educational, Locations

Love this! I live here and have been on them a few times..... great way to entertain visitors for an hour or two. My best tip is to go early in the day because they get booked out VERY quickly in low season but especially in summer. The drivers are pretty quirky and some have driving skills that leave a little to be desired but that makes it fun. If you have anyone in your party who is a prima donna then don't sit near the back of the bus as when it hits the water there is some splash back. I had friends here in November and one got really socked and was freezing for the last half of the tour and whined a bit. The rest of us thought it was pretty funny.
