What are people saying about Boston

Boston to New Hampshire Fall Foliage White Mountains Day Trip

Gloria_O, Oct 2026

Fall Foliage and so much more!

This was an excellent tour - plenty of stops for photos and bathroom breaks. Our tour guide, Marquis, was excellent! I really appreciated that he was timely and gave us an exact estimate of arrival and departure times, how long before the next stop - he was truly awesome! My only suggestion is to consider a slightly larger van - it was snug and not a lot of room for shopping / souvenirs. I would say that the smaller group resulted in all of us conversing and interacting. I can’t wait to do this again

Boston: Martha's Vineyard ICONIC Small Group Day Escape w/Ferry

Sonia_P, Oct 2026

My first trip to Martha's Vineyard was unforgettable and loads of fun.

My teen son and I participated on this wonderful all-day tour (10/9) with tour guide, Willy, on the Boston leg and then with guide John, at Martha's Vineyard exploration. We had a fantastic time with both of these guides and their historical in-depth information. I thought each one brought out unique information about the local area, residents and customs. Will provided snacks and water on his leg of the trip. His music list was relaxing for our long trip from Boston to the ferry. He made sure we were comfortable and stopped for a restroom break. He had jokes that were entertaining. I highly recommend this to anyone who has wanted to visit Martha's Vineyard and would like a tailored discussion about the area. One fun fact that John shared was that that the original Jaws' movie was filmed at Martha's. Great takeaway fact as I fell in love with the lighthouses and port. We had an opportunity to eat at local seafood store with delicious clam chowder, lobster bisque and a hot fried fish sandwich.

Newport Small-Group Day Tour: The Breakers & Marble House

If you want to see the...

If you want to see the Breakers and Marble House in Newport Rhode Island while visiting the Boston area this is the tour to take. It was so informative and we had plenty of time to explore the mansions and the waterfront of Newport. We saw so many other areas of this seaside town, a couple of churches and the river drive was so interesting to see the rocky shoreline and the homes built with big boulders in their yards that they were built around. Willy did a great job on this tour, he was very informative.

Lexington & Concord 250th Birthday Tour with Concord Museum Entry

Eileen_B, Oct 2026

Great day trip from Boston for history of the Lexington and Concord battles

Coach is extremely knowledgeable and entertaining at the same time. It is a great tour that I highly recommend. I learned so much, but also laughed a lot too. Coach also has a great voice and pronounces his words well, so it is easy to understand his commentary. Coach has fully researched the battles at Lexington and Concord. He tells you the facts and corrects the myths. My only regret is that I saw so much and took so many pictures of different houses, but didn't keep a log of what I was seeing. Now I am trying to look at my pictures and remember the history associated with each picture. My suggestion to future travelers is to take notes of what you are seeing as you go along to be able to associate them with your pictures.

The tour starts at the visitor center in Boston Common and ends af Ol Iron Sides. Narrator is clear and precise. It tells you exactly where to go and when to move on from a point of interest. You can go at your pace by simply pausing between sites. Very informative tour.

Martha's Vineyard Day Trip with Optional Island Tour from Boston

Jonathan_B, Sep 2026

An amazing day trip to Martha's Vineyard from Boston!

A wonderful day trip from Boston. Great communication and simple booking process before our trip and the guide / driver was in touch in the days before. Easy pick-up and then a great drive through amazing scenery to catch the ferry. Our Martha's Vineyard guide then collected us and gave us a fantastic tour of the main towns on the vineyard and we were then left with plenty of free time to eat and shop and soak up the atmosphere of this amazing place before we returned to the mainland. A thoroughly brilliant day with two fantastic drivers / guides - highly recommended.

Boston's Food and History: North End, Freedom Trail, Beacon Hill

Brenda_B, Aug 2026

Great History tour of Boston

This Boston Food and History tour was really great! Nadil our tour guide is a local resident and was a history major in college. He told great stories of the history of Boston. One thing to note about this tour is it was broken In two parts. The North end was first and this was the food part of the tour. Then we broke and picked up other people for the history freedom walking tour. This wasn’t clear in the booking. It worked out fine but wasn’t exactly what we expected.

Boston to Newport Trip with Breakers and Marble House Admission

Helen_B, Aug 2026

Definitely worth leaving Boston for a day to do this tour!

We loved our trip to Newport; Lucia was a fantastic driver and guide and made the day really fun with her additional information, stories and tips. The bus was comfy and Lucia had water and snacks for us. The 2 Mansions we went inside were amazing - opulent and extravagant. We also really enjoyed our free time in Newport itself and followed Lucia's recommendedation to go to the Red Parrot for lunch. Also on her recommendation we visited the church where JFK got married and got to see inside. We had a brilliant day, it's been our 19 year old daughter's favourite thing of the holiday. Well worth the time and money.

Downtown Freedom Trail, Beacon Hill & Back Bay Walking Tour

Sandra_L, Aug 2026

It was nice to include Beacon Hill to see the homes and learn who lived there. Boston Common and Public Gardens were included as well. History of Back Bay was remarkable.

From Boston: Niagara Falls 2-Day Tour with Overnight Stay

Guerrye_S, Aug 2026

Wonderful experience

I traveled with this company on August 22nd, and I had a wonderful experience. Our driver, Willy, was amazing! After picking everyone up, he clearly explained the itinerary for the day and gave us an estimated arrival time at our destination. Before visiting each site, Willy would tell us what to expect and give us a short and helpful summary about the place we were about to visit. This helped us better understand and appreciate each location and made the entire experience more interesting and enjoyable. Throughout the trip, he drove very carefully and professionally, which made us feel safe and comfortable. He was very attentive to everyone and made sure that each passenger’s needs were met. The guided visits were also very good and well organized. Overall, I had a great experience and truly appreciated Willy’s professionalism, kindness, knowledge, and excellent service. He played an important role in making the entire trip comfortable, enjoyable, and memorable. I highly recommend this company, and I would definitely travel with them again!
