Hidden Gems of Boston

Published on Oct, 2024

My wife and I did the whole day Hidden Gems of Boston tour last week and were completely pleased. Maria was wonderful during the booking process and assigned Jenny as our host/ guide. If you have Jenny as your guide, you are in for a great experience. Don't be fooled by her delightful nature and personality. She is incredibly knowledgeable about Boston both currently and historically. And she obviously delights in sharing that knowledge with others. She was truly as much host as guide. TJ from Tennessee

A Great Boston Tour!

Published on Aug, 2024

We like the tour very much! Our tour guide, Mark, was very pleasant all the way. He was knowledgeable about the history of Boston and was very flexible to adjust the schedule on the fly based on our preferences and needs at times. He helped took beautiful group pictures and provided good suggestions on restaurants and places to explore. It was an enjoyable well-planned tour!
