Terrifi Tour! - Excellent wide-ranging tour and our guide Zack did an excellent job. He seemed well-informed and eager to share Boston with us. The Harbor cruise was interesting and the beautiful weather helped.

Enriching On Land And Sea - Boston is a city rich in history, but I have always found it hard to navigate. This tour covered both while I was able to let someone else do the driving. Our guide, Zach, was a wonderful guide. Though relatively new to the Boston tour business, he knew his stuff and drove the narrow streets like a veteran. The boat tour was informative and, on a perfect weather day, a great hour in the sun. I feel like I know Boston a lot better now.

Boston Blitz - Henry, our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining. He covered Boston from The Puritans to The Big Dig. He more than made up for the so-so harbor cruise. And to top it off, his restaurant referral in Little Italy led us to the best meal we've had on our trip.

Great Boston overview and harbor views - Our tour guide Bob was knowledgeable, funny and very accommodating. The driving portion off the tour gave good highlights and the boat portion was really interesting. Would recommend!

Not really worth the money. - Did stop at Harvard, didn't stop at Bunker Hill Monument. Driver was a really nice guy. But it wasn't worth the money. Didn't do all planned stops and, while he pointed some sights out, it would've been nice to have full explanations instead of having to ask why he was pointing it out. The boat cruise was good. The guide explained everything and told about history of each thing she pointed out.

Improvement Needed - Our tour guide was a nice guy but he needs to improve on his communication skills and we felt so rushed throughout the tour, as if it was an Uber driver just spilling random facts about the city.

No Call No Show - He never picked us up from the hotel or respond to my messages. Thank goodness Viator refunded my money.
