What people are saying about Boston

Overall rating

4.3 / 5

based on 813 reviews

Hotel pick up and drop off were a bonus. Our guide was knowledgeable, kind and humorous. The bus ride was good and we had lots of scenic areas to view. We were never on the bus longer than 1 1/2 hours. We enjoyed everything about this trip and would book with this touring group again.

Not only was the trip wonderful, it was spectacular because of our driver/ guide/ our fabulous raconteur Kieran. There are not enough words to describe his personality … friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable. I wanted to take this Irish lad home. He is a treasure

Had a great day with this tour today. Our guide was super friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. Found out loads of information and Had a really lovely day. Definitely recommend to anyone wondering whether or not to go.

Beautiful and peaceful forest areas. Expert guide for the day trip to the White Mountain forest region. Several stops to see beauty of nature.

Very nice trip to Boston and Cambridge. Even if the travel is long you have sufficient time to visit the most interesting places.
