It was really interesting. If anything, we could have done with a little more time 30 minutes too short, and an extra 15 minutes would have been good. As a free guided tour, we can't complain. Clear..... more

What an incredible experience and opportunity to walk the oldest commissioned naval ship. The history and restoration were absolutely stunning. The museum is phenomenal as well. Well worth and can be toured within 2 hours and that is taking your time and reading everything as we do. The dry dock is a neat perk too.

If you visit Boston for it's history, you should not miss to visit the USS Constitution Museum and the surrounding area. All exhibits are very well maintained and restored. You would about two to three hours to visit everything. More if you are interested in detailed history of every major exhibit. Try and visit both ships that are docked there (USS Constitution & USS Cassin Young). Great experience for history buffs or not.
