Top Massachusetts Christmas

I surprised my family with tickets to this tour. Bob was a great tour guide. I liked the combination of sightseeing, local history, and sweets. We would definitely do a tour with Bob or this company again!

Had a wonderful time. The staff was friendly and we really enjoyed the music and drink options. Would definitely recommend.

A very relaxing cruise with views of the city and ports, a talented band, a festive atmosphere, and delicious free cocoa.

Rachel was so sweet and so informative. Loved the walk and seeing all of the things I would have otherwise not known to look for.

Last night’s Ghost of Christmas Past tour was such a great experience. Our guide, Rachel, is a historian and brought the stories to life in a way that was both informative and entertaining. We felt genuinely lucky to spend an hour and a half learning from her and asking questions.The apple cider was a cozy bonus, and the walking portion was just the right length; easy and enjoyable after dinner. Well worth it and a really fun way to experience the season.

Wonderful way of getting to know the tales of a city at your own paste and at any hour of the day!!!! We really enjoyed the Christmas Boston Tour and felt Christmas!!!!

The tour was fantastic, We had four friends on the tour. The Ephesus tour with Elif, the tour operator, was great. She also took us to a rug place and a tile place (make sure you want to go there.) We enjoyed her and she made the tour interesting and informative. The transportation back and forth to the airport on the tour was nice and spacious. It is a full long day but it was worth it. We did have some issues. The tour started earlier than expected, which was not a problem. We left the hotel at 3:45 AM instead of the 5:30, as stated on the website. The issue was that while checking in for the flight from Istanbul to Izmir, Turkish Airlines put two of us on standby. The plane was overbooked on Turkish Air by 20 people. The tour company said we could get boarding passes at the airport. This problem may have been avoided if we checked in for the flight 24 hours ahead of time. We did not know that two of us would have seats on the plane until they were escorted up the stairs minutes before we took off. This was very stressful. Despite contacting Cool Destinations, they were very unhelpful about receiving any rewards credit for the tour.

We enjoyed the views, the holiday decor and delicious food! There was so much food! The small boat allowed for an intimate cruise.

We had a great time on the Christmas walk. Enjoyed learning the history and the humor sprinkled through it added to the enjoyment.

What a delight. The ambiance was perfect. Decorated with wreathes and garlands and light. A LOVELY jazz band played tasteful holiday tunes throughout the ride. The hot chocolate was DELICIOUS and unlimited! And they had a cool whipped cream dispenser for exceptionally yummy and fresh whipped cream. Coffee was also available for free, so we made a coffee-hot chocolate. So yummy. They also offer “spiked” hot chocolate from the bar. You can purchase special liquor combinations in fancy cups to then add to your hot chocolate as well. We got baileys and peppermint schnapps to add to ours which was also very good. Overall, it was a relaxing, cozy and fun boat cruise for this time of year. Here are some tips: 1)We went on the 3pm ride which I’d highly recommended. It’s an hour and a half and so we finished promptly at 4:30. The sun set at 4:22 so the lighting over the harbor was so perfect even with some haze in the sky. Plus once you exit, it’s perfect timing to head to your favorite spot for a dinner reservation. 2) Bring some small games! You’ll get an assigned table spot which I thought helped make it stress free. Our group brought small travel-sized versions of Bananagrams and Qwirkle to play on the ride. It was perfect! The games plus the music, hot chocolate, jazz music, and the peaceful ride in the harbor made such a perfect combination for a memorable afternoon.

We had a wonderful time on the Boston Holiday Cocoa Cruise! The whole vibe was so festive and relaxed, with amazing holiday music that really set the mood. The yacht itself was decorated beautifully, cozy, cheerful, and perfect for families. We mostly just had snacks, so I can’t speak much to the food, but the drinks were fantastic. The staff was super friendly and welcoming. The highlight for us was definitely the view. The Boston skyline at night from the water is just breathtaking. I’d definitely recommend this cruise, It’s festive cheer, gorgeous scenery, and a relaxed atmosphere.

It was a great experience filled with tales about Salem’s history, including Christmas history and some ghosts tales. We really appreciated the hand warmers and hot apple cider! It was a cold night!! Thanks to Tish for making it fun!!

The guide was a lot of fun. She knew so much. Made it a great experience for me. Felt very comfortable.

Fantastic boat and crew! Such an enjoyable cruise….taking in the sites of Boston, seeing the harbor seals, stopping at the islands and light house…. all while listening to holiday music and enjoying a nice brunch.

Even though it rained all day, it was a delightful experience. The crew members were awesome, the place was clean and the food was plenty. I would definitely do this again

Food was honestly so-so, but the drinks were absolutely delicious. The music was great, decor was beautiful, and staff were all obviously having a great time. The view and ride was amazing as well. Being able to step out onto the deck, even though it was cold, to get a perfect view of the skyline was amazing. Thanks for an unforgettable date!
