Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for kids on this tour? Thinking of gifting it to my nephew who's 12.

A: There’s no strict age limit for the tour, but it’s generally more enjoyable for kids who can appreciate the history. A 12-year-old should have a great time! Just keep in mind that some parts, like the Harvard tour, may be more interesting than others for younger kids. Also, the boat cruise at the end is pretty cool, so he’ll definitely enjoy that!

Q: Can you reschedule if the weather is bad? I want to plan this for my parents' anniversary.

A: Yes, you can usually reschedule the tour if the weather is bad. Just make sure you call the provider ahead of time. They’re pretty flexible about accommodating changes, especially for the boat cruise since it's weather-dependent. Just check the forecast a day or two before your planned date!

Q: What should we wear for this tour? Will we be outside a lot?

A: Dress comfortably! You’ll be outside for most of the tour, so I’d recommend layering. Sneakers are a must since there’s some walking involved, especially at Harvard. If you’re going during the summer, pack sunscreen too. For the boat cruise part, it can get a bit breezy, so a light jacket might be a good idea!

Anyone done the Boston Premium Small Group Driving Tour with Boat Cruise? Thoughts?

I’m thinking about booking this tour for my parents when they visit in October! The idea of hitting all the historical sites and then going on a boat cruise sounds amazing. I’m especially excited about the visit to Harvard since they’re both alumni! Just wondering what the experience is like and if you think it’s worth it.

How's the experience on the Boston Harbor Cruise portion?

I want to know if the harbor cruise part really enhances the whole experience. I love the water and I'm just curious if the views are really as good as they say! Is it a good time to just relax too? Looking at getting this for a friend who loves boating.
