Provincetown day trip from Boston

5.00We had travelled from Scotland to stay in Boston and this was one of the highlights of our 8 day stay! Donal was a friendly, knowledgeable character who clearly hasn’t lost his Irish charm after living in Boston for 40 years! He gave us recommendations of where to eat and what to do for our stay in P’town which was only for a few short hours! He was also really interested in our feedback too on our return to Boston so he can improve the service for future travellers. We saw the sunset over Boston city skyline when we came back. Thank you Donal, what an asset you are to the company!
Great Ride

5.00The boat ride was fine. Make sure you get fresh air here and there because I felt a bit nauseated half hour into the ride even though I didn’t eat breakfast and I was sitting inside. Once there, take the trolley tour, rent a bike, check out the art galleries.
Helpful staff
