What are people saying about Boston

Amanda_S, May 2026

Excellent cruise with great city views!

Our sunset cruise was amazing! Great views of the city skyline and the surrounding area. The crew, Alex, Claire, Charlie and Eric were so friendly and shared so much knowledge about the city. We would highly recommend this cruise and hope to go on another when we return to Boston.

Private Luxury Transportation to/from Boston Logan Airport (BOS)

Cassie_W, Apr 2026

Great communication and quality transportation!

Our flight had several delays throughout the day, but I was able to stay in communication with them and they watched the flight updates for changes. Our driver, Eric, was helpful and friendly, even though our flight arrived at midnight. We were so grateful to have him ready for our arrival!

Salem half day private tour from Boston

Joan_A, Mar 2026

Fantastic tour!

If you’re visiting Salem, do yourself a favor and take a tour with Martin. Our experience was absolutely fantastic and easily one of the highlights of our trip. Martin led a guided tour of Salem that was both incredibly informative and genuinely entertaining. He showed us six filming locations from Hocus Pocus, which was a really fun addition, and also brought us to the iconic Bewitched statue. Beyond the pop culture stops, his in-depth knowledge of the Salem Witch Trials was impressive—he explained the history in a way that was engaging, thoughtful, and easy to understand. He also made a stop at the oldest candy shop in the United States, which was such a unique and memorable part of the tour. It’s clear Martin truly knows Salem inside and out. What really set the experience apart, though, was how much he went above and beyond. At the end of the tour, he even helped us secure reservations at a restaurant so we could relax and enjoy the rest of our evening without worrying about finding a place to eat. Martin clearly cares about making sure people have a great experience in Salem (and other areas in and around Boston), and it shows in every part of the tour. If you’re looking for a guide who is knowledgeable, personable, and passionate about the history of the area, Martin is the one to go with. Highly recommend!

Boston Private City Tour

Preety_K, Feb 2026

Sam is hands-down the...

Sam is hands-down the best guide we’ve ever had. He went completely out of his way to make sure we had a great time, even adjusting the itinerary on the fly to suit our interests. He knows all the 'hidden gems' away from the tourist crowds and felt more like a local friend than a tour guide. Our trip wouldn't have been the same without him!

Boston Holiday Cocoa Cruise

Liliana_S, Dec 2025

Family-Friendly Holiday Cruise

We had a wonderful time on the Boston Holiday Cocoa Cruise! The whole vibe was so festive and relaxed, with amazing holiday music that really set the mood. The yacht itself was decorated beautifully, cozy, cheerful, and perfect for families. We mostly just had snacks, so I can’t speak much to the food, but the drinks were fantastic. The staff was super friendly and welcoming. The highlight for us was definitely the view. The Boston skyline at night from the water is just breathtaking. I’d definitely recommend this cruise, It’s festive cheer, gorgeous scenery, and a relaxed atmosphere.

3-Hour Private "Cold Weather- Warm Van" Driving Tour of Boston

Giulio_M, Dec 2025

The absolute best way to see Boston—Peter is a legend!

If you are looking for the perfect way to see Boston without battling the freezing temperatures, this is it. Our group of four booked this tour on a whim, and it ended up being the highlight of our trip. The 'warm van' promise was fully kept, but the real star of the show was our guide, Peter. I cannot speak highly enough of him. Often, a three-hour drive can feel long, but Peter kept our attention the entire time. He has an endless supply of fascinating stories and local history that you simply wouldn't get from a guide book. He managed to make the city come alive while we stayed perfectly comfortable. If you want a tour that feels personal, engaging, and incredibly comfortable, ask for Peter. Worth every cent!

Boston Sightseeing Tour - a fully-narrated driving tour

Patricia_C, Oct 2025

The Best Way to See Boston

I booked the 3-hour private driving tour in Boston, and from start to finish it was unforgettable — all thanks to our guide, Peter. From the moment we were picked up at the cruise port, it was clear we were in good hands. The van was spotless, comfortable, and climate-controlled. Peter’s punctuality and friendliness instantly put us at ease. As we rolled through Boston’s neighborhoods — Back Bay, Beacon Hill, the South End — Peter seamlessly wove together stories, historical context, and fun anecdotes. He navigated tight streets like a pro, making sure we caught striking views (and photo stops) without compromising the itinerary. His knowledge is seemingly bottomless: he referenced dates, personalities, lesser-known tales, and surprised us with this fun facts. We passed by so many iconic sites: the Paul Revere House, Old North Church, the USS Constitution, Bunker Hill, Faneuil Hall, Copley Square, Fenway Park, Harvard, MIT, and more. None of that felt like mere “drive-by” narration — Peter made each landmark come alive through storytelling. He has a warm, inviting personality — we felt like we were touring with a knowledgeable friend rather than a guide “on duty.” His passion for Boston is infectious! By the end we walked away feeling like insiders, not just tourists. In short: Peter exceeded every expectation. If you visit Boston (even for just a few hours), book this tour. You’ll see the city, yes—but more importantly, you’ll feel the city, through stories, context, and heart. We will remember this tour for years to come — thank you, Peter!

New England Fall Lunch Cruise in Boston Harbor

Dottie_J, Oct 2025

Wonderful Cruise

What wonderful lunch cruise. The captain gave us information about local history while we gently cruised around Boston Harbor! The food on the buffet was excellent with roasted pork loin, turkey, butternut squash ravioli, salad, saffron rice, garlic rolls, and brownies. Everything was delicious! My husband and I enjoyed this very much. The crew were also very nice and professional. When we finished eating, there were still all the sights to see. This a must do on a Boston visit!

Boston Summer Nights Trolley Tour plus River Cruise

Timothy_B, Aug 2025

Well Designed Tour

Well organized and ran smoothly. Red was our trolley driver and he was fun of energy and did a great job driving and sharing information. The trolley was well maintained and there was lots of fun music to listen to as you waited to depart and throughout the presentation with special cues. The boat was just as lovely and our bartender/guide during this part was very good! A great tour and I’d be interested in doing other tours they offer.

Lexington and Concord 3 hour private car tour from Boston

David_C, Aug 2025

Really Enjoyable Experience

Our guide, Christian, was very informative and really pleasant. We really enjoyed how he related the experience to us. Picked us up at our hotel and dropped us off at the place of our choice. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning more about Lexington and Concord.
