Best of Boston - We were very fortunate to have a private tour. No one else joined us which is probably due to the time of year …we had a wonderful time. Got to see the best of Boston and ride in comfort, plus end our trip on a wonderful boat ride to see the city from the harbor!!

Best of Boston with Bob! - Oh my gosh…. What fun we had with Bob! His knowledge of the area was unmatched, and he made our trip to Boston fun and memorable. We highly recommend this small group tour and would do it again in a heartbeat.

Great vacation! - I think Boston was a great vacation. It is definitely a melting pot of people. Everyone was very friendly and took their time to help out with directions or anything else. All kinds of food was tasty. Little Italy has great spirit and the food is amazing. Credit given to Boston for being as clean as it is for a city.

Do not recommend this company - Our tour guide was an hour late picking us up. We then made 2 more stops to do pickups; were told we would go straight to the boat tour or we would miss our reserved time. The boat tour was great, that is why I gave this review 2 stars. Without the boat tour I would have given it zero. Our van driver was not what we have been accustomed to on these types of tours; he did not seem well versed on the sights we drove by. In fact he was not at all talkative or helpful. It was very disappointing, we felt most of the day was a waste of time. Again I want to point out that the boat tour was separate and was very nice.

Ruined my day - I confirmed with our tour operator the night before we were due to arrive in Boston. Our Tour guide NEVER showed up. We were at the meeting point for over an hour and a half. We called the 1866 8336855 number several times. We talked to Cynthia and Mathew on several occasions getting different excuses for why our tour guide “David” didn’t show up. Finally we decided to explore Boston by ourselves since it became obvious nobody would give us a straight answer as to why they didn’t show. At least we did get a full refund but it still ruined our day in Boston.

1 tour instead of 2 - This tour is described as a two part tour. The first part is a driving tour narrated by a knowledgeable, professional guide. The second part is a boat cruise around the Boston Harbor narrated by a professional, knowledgeable guide. Our driver arrived 1 hour and a half late with no explanation other than "I'm just late." He was not professionally dressed nor was he professional in his demeanor. He was not knowledgeable about the landmarks. We were only able to do the boat tour. The boat tour was a very good tour. Highly recommend. We paid for two tours, but we only received one. I have contacted the company twice, but have not heard back how they are prepared to handle the driving portion of the tour.

Disappointed they did not give us the tour as promised!!@ - Booked the tour for 9:00 AM. No one showed up at the hotel they told us to be at. We couldn't drive to a pick up site. We were not staying at this hotel, we were staying 40 plus miles away. We called and was told that they didn't know why we weren't picked up. We then rescheduled for the same tour for 2:00 PM the same day. We now had to kill 5 hrs in a strange town. We called to verify our appointment at 12: 30 PM to make sure there wouldn't be any further issues. We did not get picked up at 2:00 PM. This time they called us to see if we had been picked up on time. After about 45 more minutes we finally did get picked up by a SUV and was told that we now had to pick up 2 other couples who were also promised to be picked up at 2:00 PM. The last couple had to be squeezed in and made for some unfriendly conversation. It was now after 3:00 PM when all was aboard and ready for the tour to begin. Due to the late hour, our tour through the city with stops at Bunker Hill and Harvard were canceled. We did make it to the Harbor Cruise but because we were late we missed alot of the welcome information. Our tour guide gave us a small sample of the buildings in the area and since we were close to the hotel where our car was garaged, just dropped us off. Not the experience we were usually given when doing business with TripAdvisor.

Pathetic situation!!!!!!! - We had one day to tour Boston and selected what I felt was the best tour available. 6 of us were at the pickup point 20 mins early and after a half hour wait I called the dispatcher who told me he would call me back. No response after another half hour. I called again .Another 10 min and I was called back. They apologized and told me they didn’t have anyone to do the tour. They would refund the $1000 deposit. My suggestion for anyone else DONT USE THIS OPERATION FOR YOUR BOSTON TOUR.needs.
