Expensive and not much in it. - It went not as the ad described: 1. It’s only a little over 3 hours tour rather than 5 hours. 2. There is no boat cruise as the title says. We rode in the van driving through Boston for :sight seeing” without any stopping except at Harvard campus and USS constitution. We booked for two people and it charged $438… could be the most disproportionally expensive tour we have ever signed up through Viator. the only cost included is aquarium admission fee, $34/each person. On the other hand, the driver/guide Bob is funny and very knowledgeable!

Buyer beware!! DO NOT BOOK. There is no cruise and the tour is 3 hours, not 5. - BUYER BEWARE. As a frequent traveler for work, I have had the opportunity to experience numerous tours in various cities. Unfortunately, my recent encounter with the Best of Boston Small Group Tour fell short of expectations. The tour, which was priced over $1000, was advertised as a comprehensive 5-hour experience that included a promised harbor cruise. Regrettably, the actual tour lasted only 3 hours and did not feature the expected harbor cruise. This deviation from the advertised itinerary was particularly disappointing considering that there were no apparent unexpected delays or adverse weather conditions that could have justified such omissions. In stark contrast to this disappointing experience, the following day we participated in the Boston Food and History Private Tour, which was priced at $1100, and it surpassed all expectations, marking it as one of the best tours we've ever experienced. Despite the unmet promises of the Best of Boston Small Group Tour, our request for a partial refund due to the incomplete tour was denied. As a result, I intend to escalate this issue by reporting it to my credit card company and lodging a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. It's essential for tour operators to uphold the integrity of their advertised services and provide transparent and fulfilling experiences for their customers. I hope that sharing this feedback will encourage the tour operator to reassess their practices and strive for improved customer satisfaction in the future. Anyone can google my name and contact me; I'll be happy to provide you with additional details.
