What People Are Saying
“This was really totally enjoyable. Getting to see beautiful Boston from this vantage point is very special. Noah who was our guide and barman extraordinaire was fabulous. Booking was easy and straightforward. I will definitely do this again. A great way to end a day.”
“We loved the Architectural Tour which starts in Cambridge, goes through the locks into and around Boston Harbor then back through the locks and along the Charles River. The narration from a Boston by Foot guide was interesting and so informative, focusing on not only fascinating tidbits about the various beautiful buildings along the waterfront but also lots of the rich history of the area. In addition the boat was comfortable and clean and the crew was friendly, courteous and very professional. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour to locals and tourists alike. A lovely morning on the River.”
“I am a volunteer tour guide with Boston By Foot, and we partner with Charles Riverboat Company to provide the Architecture Cruise which goes into Boston Harbor and back up the Charles River. I had missed narrating this cruise SO MUCH in 2020 during the pandemic emergency phase! I’ve narrated 3 cruises in the past week and it is so wonderful to work with the amazing professionals at this company. The customer service, knowledge of the boats, the river, and harbor, are unmatched. Everyone feels safe and enjoys the views, the ride, and our stories. Charles Riverboat Company adds a unique dimension to the tourism experience in Boston for visitors and locals alike.”
“The nicest people you will ever meet and the tours are great fun!”
“I went on the Charles River tour this afternoon and it was outstanding.”
“Worth the time! This 70 minute boat tour on the Charles River was very informative. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and kept us entertained. We were able to view the many prominent building along the river and saw parts of Boston that we wouldn’t have seen from land. This a fun tour for people of all ages.”
