This is a great tour as many have said but one reason I like going is getting there. I always take the MBTA Commuter Boat service. For $3 round trip (or $1.50 one-way) you can go from Long Wharf to Charlestown Navy Yard and back. From the dock at Navy Yard it is a quick walk to the USS Constitution... more

The USS Constitution is a lovely old ship that is lovingly looked after. The tour is carried out by sailors themselves - but all the wars seemed to be with the British!! We then went over to the USS Cassin Young - one of the volunteers was changing bulbs and took us all around the ship - my husband who... more

My son and I were told by a local that this was the best attraction in Boston and its FREE! A five minute walk from the T, you are rewarded with a tour of the oldest commissioned war ship in the world. The tours are given by Naval officers who are clearly proud to serve on this beautiful ship. Well... more

Me and my boyfriend just returned from visiting Boston. While finishing off the Freedom Trail for the 2nd day we stopped off to see the USS Constitution. What a beautiful ship! Our tour guide was fantastic and very informative. He took us below deck where they have the cannons set up and the captains quarters. Then we went another floor... more

My wife, 4- and 8-year-old children, and I visited Old Ironsides during a hot August visit to Boston for the first time. The half-hour wait under the scorching sun was a little much for the little ones...well, okay, I was hot, too. Nevertheless, we enjoyed seeing what an early 1800's warship was like (thank God, most of the tour was... more

You know I'm not a huge history buff or anything but this was definitely worth the time. It's an amazing ship with a great crew. We went on the guided tour of the boat and it was amazing. Go early if you don't want to stand in line too long and it is closed on Mondays. The active crew serves... more

We didn't get to tour the boat (closed Mondays) but really enjoyed the museum (2 adults and a 16 year old). Either I forgot most of what I learned back in school or they just didn't teach the good stuff. If you go to see the ship don't skip the musuem more

I have visited the USS Constitution a few times. It is such an amazing piece of history! Touring the ship is like taking a step back in time. If you love history, this is an Boston attraction not to be missed. On one of my visits, I happened to be the 1,000,000th visitor! I was treated to a special guided... more
