| The trip was amazing. Rich in history and incredibly scenic. I would like to single out NPS personnel Suzanne Gall Marsh and Elenore for their expertise.
A well run tour and I will highly recommend the Boston Light Tour to ALL!
Thank you,

| I always wanted to see a lighthouse upclose and finally got to do it with the help of the Boston Harbor. The ranger narrated the tour and pointed everything out to us. Everyone was so friendly and shared tons of fact and stories on the island. I highly recommend this trip to anyone interested in lighthouses. We had a wonderful time. |

| The advertisement for the light tour gives no indication that we only walk around the lighthouse, not up into the lighthouse. Also, since the innkeeper's house was featured on "This Old House", it could be helpful to say that there is no tour of the house, either. Even just stepping inside the house in a portion of the kitchen, roped off, could be interesting.
What makes this tour so expensive? gas for the boat? most of the people we interacted with were volunteers.
The lighthouse keeper greeted us and waved good-bye and the rest of the time, I did not see her.
An hour to 75 min. may be too long for a pause on the island; 45 min. is likely adequate. But then you may need to adjust prices for something that is under 2.75 hrs.
The NPS tour leader checked in with the audience to be sure that we could hear her. That was good. And with the volume adjusted, her information was interesting.
Thanks for asking. |

| Small, but interesting, island. Ranger and other staff very responsive. Be ready for the weather: wind, sun, whatever. Shelter is limited. |

| 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.
