  • The ranking of tours, activities, and experiences available on Tripadvisor is determined by several factors including the revenue generated by Tripadvisor from these bookings, the frequency of user clicks, and the volume and quality of customer reviews. Occasionally, newly listed offerings may be prioritized and appear higher in the list. The specific placement of these new listings may vary.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Very nice tour! Calm and peaceful. Took a bunch of photos. Tour guide and helper were great and did not rush through the tour. Perfect for a couple on a date night or friends/ family visiting. Highly recommend

    Outstanding! We took the first Waterfire ride at dusk (6:45pm) on Saturday, September 28, 2019. We not only witnessed the lighting of the fires but the awesome display of torch twirling by a young women on one of the passing boats that lit the fires. The fiery glow reflected not only off the water and bridges along the route but off the the thousand of faces of people lining the canal and surrounding hillsides. The music was haunting and skyline all aglow showing off the architecture of the city. Kristin was amazing–suggesting the opening ride (a bit longer than other times); answering our questions; recommending dining in the area (options are plentiful, especially "BYOB: build your own burger" at Luxe Burger!), even offering her boats electrical output to charge our waning mobile phones to assure we had wonderful images of Waterfire. After spending the day touring and hiking the city–Capital building complex, Johnson and Wales University, Brown University-Waterfire was the best and most romantic close to a wonderful visit to Providence. Ya gotta see it!

    After enjoying the fun narrated tours lead by Captain Tom for the past few years, we were excited for the opportunity to explore the Green Jacket Shoal. We had wondered, during low tide, what the exposed wood in the river was off of India Point Park. The tour, guided by David Robinson, brought us out - up close - to “Rhode Island’s largest ship graveyard” where we learned about each boat settled there, and therefore, a lot about Providence history. The boat ride was sun and fascinating.
