Best tour ever!!

Published on Sep, 2024

As a lifelong Boston native I was pleasantly surprised to learn facts I did not know and it was a pleasant walk. I liked the game aspect and party arty was an excellent host. I have told numerous friends about it and would highly recommend attending.

Engaging and well-researched

Published on Jul, 2024

Arturas is a warm, engaging, knowledgeable tour guide who is clearly passionate about what he does! I've lived in Boston for 10 years but was intrigued by his website so my friend and I signed up for a tour. Even as a local, there were so many fun surprises on his tour and so many tidbits and places I never knew about! He's clearly put a lot of research and work into crafting an interesting tour and it was a really lovely way to spend 2 hours in the city. I was happy to support him as a local small business owner - Arturas is one of the nicest humans you'll ever meet - and I would definitely recommend this tour, for locals and tourists alike!
