USA Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

Andrew was an outstanding tour guide. He offered us the perfect blend of history and current local interests with just the perfect bit of personal stories to make for a totally delightful tour!

We are in our 80's and took our 5 and 8 year old grandchildren. We booked on Cool Destinations. Registration went perfectly. When we boarded we went to the 3rd deck immediately, and selected the first table closest to the bar and restrooms, next to the doors to the outside walkway, and got snacks and drinks, it was a perfect location. The tour guide was excellent and the clarity over the PA system was also excellent. The inside location provided AC comfort. The e tour guide provided interesting historical, geographical, industrial, ecological, and architectural material that even captured the older child's interest. The womens' restroom was clean, NOT disgusting as other reviews stated. The ship was clean, the food was OK and not overly expensive. We got ice cream, big pretzels, popcorn, and drinks. Other items were available, like chicken strips, that looked good. This was an altogether wonderful excursion that we would highly recommend. River Street is amazing and worth exploring before or afterwards.

even if you are not a history nerd, this tour is a great way to see the historic battlefield and get an understanding on what happened there. the self drive tour is good, but I highly recommend the guided tour. the guide was awesome and provided some great insight.

This tour gives you an extremely entertaining history lesson about Boston, its origins, neighborhoods, and its notable citizens.

Awesome experience Tim was a fantastic guide really painting a nice story while showing us all the highlights of the battlefield. He really makes history come alive. The bus was comfortable and good temperature.

The boat was really nice, we all caught fish and Ray was awesome. Will definitely book with them again.

This was an incredibly informative and FUN tour. Lots of history but also tidbits of fun facts! We didn't think that a 5pm boat tour on Friday = lots of traffic, but MAN! Our tour guide Birdie filled roughly 40 minutes of extra time with AMAZING information and to that I tip my hat. Well done on the improv front!

Fun and exciting speed boat ride. Charismatic captain. Super cool how the dolphins ride the wake of the boat. Great fun!

Awesome job guys!! Fish were not there but it’s not due to not trying that’s for sure. Wife loved it also . Already planning our next trip. 5***** for sure!!!!

Had a great time on the screamer! It is faster than the other sight seeing boats so that is a plus to start! The Capt. Scott and soon to be Capt. Brandon were wonderful guides. Down to earth, with a mixed sense of knowledge and humor. Capt. Scott even let our 7 yr. old "drive" the boat! Most importantly we saw quite a few dolphins doing amazing dolphin things!

Excellent experience. A new way to see Gettysburg. Jim was an excellent guide and the train was comfortable and beautiful.

Beautiful Train. Very smooth and great scenery. Our car host Steve was fun. Relaxing little trip, super comfy seats! Allow time for parking!

We had a great time learning about ice cream and trying all the different kinds of ice cream in the museum.

It was perfect. We were there early Sept, really hot and humid. Tough to walk very far. This is the best way to get around, go down some streets you normally wouldn't, go to restaurants you normally wouldn't, shops, etc. It's too easy.

staff very friendly and helpful. Golf cart was in excellent condition and instructions were clear. They even gave us a drive back to our cruise ship. Great job everyone!

Wonderful area to play with family
