| We really enjoyed the tour. The guides were informative and friendly. It felt like friends inviting us into their home. The lack of commercialism was refreshing. |

| With lovely weather the 45 minute boat ride to the Boston Light gives one an excellent view of various islands in the habor. The on board ranger telling the history and current use of various islands was very informative.
The visit to Little Brewster Island and the Light itself was also excellent. Although only one in our party of 4 wanted to climb the light the other three did not lack interesting things to do. There are beutiful views from the island and good stories from the various volunteers and rangers.
The lighthouse keeper was delightful, as was her husband. |

| We all are well travled but found this excursion worthwhile,very informative and would recommend it highly.I do not think children under 12 would benefit and actually could take away from the tour. |

| The Rangers from the National Park Service and the lighthouse keeper did an excellent job describing the history of the islands and the history of Boston Light. It was incredible to walk up into the light house and be witness to the view of Boston, the islands and surronding communities. It was especially impressive to see the craftsmanship and ingenuity that went into creatind the lighthouse beacon. A worthwhile trip for locals and tourists!! |

| Some of us were local but learned much about the history of the islands and lighthouse. Those of our party from Alabama and Hawaii thought it was awesome, from the views to the history. They were very happy they came. |

| I attended with my two children and all of us enjoyed it very much. The tour guides were friendly and knowledgeable and made it interesting for children as well. The scavenger hunt on the beach on Little Brewster made all the difference with my kids. Thank you! |

| Our family thoroughly enjoyed the trip out to Little Brewster Island and the tour of the lighthouse. My only small disappointment was the boat that took us out there - it was quite small and from the front area, it was difficult to see the sights from certain seats. That said, the experience on the island itself was fantastic and the climb up the lighthouse is highly, highly recommended!!! |

| The enthusiastic Rangers and volunteers made this excursion a delight. The little island is a gem, where you feel easily transported back in time. The rigors and isolation of lighthouse keeping is felt.
The small boat was a bit of a disappointment, with its backless bench seats, but it ably ferried us out to the island and back amidst the bustle of busy Boston Harbor.
Plan to spend extra time along the waterfront - it's beautiful. We brought a picnic lunch over to the island, but there are many restaurants in the area to visit either before or after your cruise. |
