About this tour

Brunch features fresh bakery items, seasonal fruit, bacon, eggs, winter salad, and dessert. A full bar is available for drinks purchased by credit card.
Check in at the Rowes Wharf Ferry Terminal, behind the Boston Harbor Hotel. Seating is assigned, and some guests may share a table.

How the score works and rating distribution in Boston
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.7. Top 22% in Boston means it ranks in the top 22% of tours in Boston by this score.
