Incredible

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, Dan Casey

Amazing

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.

Need to update info

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.

Staff were friendly and informative. We really enjoyed our day. We had a stroller with us, which was not a problem for the staff, they were all so very helpful and cheerful and clearly enjoyed their work.

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!

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.

Excellent for history and lighthouse enthusiasts
Fri, Jun 29, 07   10:00 AM historybuff Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
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!

It was fun/ We always wanted to visit Boston Light
Fri, Jun 29, 07   10:00 AM ECScaringi Female 60-69 Local Group of Friends
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.
