Since there was mention of buying/bringing lunch, we expectedd to have more time to picnic on the island. Too bad there was so little time to stay on Little Brewster. After a rough ride in a smaller than anticipated boat, it took a few minutes to get my balance before I could start absorbing what was on the island.
The tour leaders and volunteers were friendly and very helpful.
We are always glad to get a closer look at the USS Constitution and the former Naval Shipyard area.
All five members of my group were satisfied with the experience overall. |

Excellent for history and lighthouse enthusiasts |

We found out about the tour from the Boston Harborfest brochure. My older son (11) is very interested in the revolutionary war and he knew about the harbor islands. He wanted to see what they were like and this tour gave a brief overview of them. The tour guides were fabulous. When they found out my son was interested in forts, they went out of their way to point out and discuss that as part of the narrated tour on the boat. The tour guides were very knowledgeable. The crew on the boat was excellent and friendly. The sights were beautiful and they boat ride was great! Highly recommended. The three hours went so quickly! |

the guides were well informed, especially skip, the pharologist. the literature was misleading about being able to climb the lighthouse (closed for one year) and the literature also states snacks would be available for purchase at the dock, prior to departure; when i asked, there were none. |

A pleasant day on the water |

Our tour leaders (rangers & volunteers) were helpful and knowledgeable. We got to see many islands in Boston Harbor and hear some of their history. The stop at Little Brewster Island was only 30 min. but then we made it out to Graves' light and then the captain swung by the USS Constitution (in the inner harbor) on our way back to port. Nice views of Boston! |

Excellent Trip |

Outstanding tour and very informative. Very adquately staffed by rangers and volunteers.
Would recommend this tour to everyone.
Even when the afternooon tour we originally booked was cancelled due to a boat not being available the staff called and offered us an earlier tour. Being very flexible folks we took them up on it and had a grea time.
Upon inquiring of one of the rangers where we could observe the commercial fishing industry ? We were directed to the Fish Pier, just 4 blocks away and enjoyed our observation of the fishing boats and of curse dinner at "No Name" restaurant.
A great day that we thoroughly enjoyed.
