What are people saying about Boston

Randall_H, Sep 2026

Wrong meeting place address.

You must change the address given for the meeting place. The booking says 156 Blackstone. There is no such address. It should be 136 Blackstone. This address is clearly seen on the door to the building where we meet. Myself and everyone in our 13 member group could not find a 156 Blackstone and suffered much anxiety because we thought we would miss the tour while looking for this non-existent address. Our tour was delayed 15 minutes waiting for others to find the meeting spot. Our tour guide stated he is wearing an Intrepid shirt. However, we didn’t have any idea what Intrepid is because we booked with Viator of course. So a guy in a red shirt in the area didn’t mean anything to us. Again, you need to change the advertisement to read, “Meet at 136 Blackstone “.

Lots of good food and...

Lots of good food and drink as well as a lot of history about the neighborhood. You can’t replace having a tour guide who loves what they are giving the tour about. This isn’t a large company with a bunch of different guides that come and go, it’s one person. You’re going to get a similar experience to what the reviews say vs having to wonder if you’re going to get the good tour guide at another company.

Fenway Park / museum tour

Informative, there is a lot to see besides just the ball field. The place is like a baseball museum. So many different exhibits dating back over the last 100 years of baseball. Of course the emphasis is on Red Sox history. If you love baseball don’t miss this experience.

Our guide Warren was knowledgeable about the history of the Fishing piers! Generous samples on the Seafood Tour. The restaurants each had history and we sampled some great seafood. Nice size group about 10. I learned so much and loved the lobster roll. I highly recommend this tour. So worth it!

Fun! I would do it again.

Superb tour with details about the neighborhood’s history. We learned interesting facts about immigration into the US and we learned about the food. There were plenty of interesting stops with delicious food. Just note. This is not a small group tour. There were 30+ on our tour. That has it’s pros and cons, but overall I’d say it was a fun experience and the group size allowed you to meet a variety of people. Thank you Paula!

Love it, but lantern game is weak

Our guide, Max, was fun as hell. It’s clear he loves what he does! He needs a new lantern though. He was passionate about the tour he led, but the light was dim, I could only rely on his brilliant and bright shining personality to get us from booze to booze. Made some friends in the tour, we are buying haunted Airbnb and now we are bonded for life. Happy haunting. And get all guises a standard issue lantern. The one is Miami and New Orleans were different then Boston. Brand yourselves. But guide, 5 stars.

Great tour of local...

Great tour of local Hotspot for food and beverages. Our guide, Nabil, was an exceptionally nice man who was well regarded by owners of the places we visited. Free advice, skip breakfast before this tour.... Nabil has an encyclopedic knowledge of the Boston area as well as the people and events that led up to the American Revolution. This was definitely an advanced class on our history. He's a great teacher and I am so grateful to have met him.

Of course it is always...

Of course it is always the guide that makes or breaks a trip and our guide, Dan, made this an exceptional tour. Dan had a great repore with all the restaurants and this made for a fun and delicious day. The pace of the tour was leisurely which gave us time to get to know the other members of our group and also provided us with opportunities to pick Dans wealth of knowledge about the Boston area and other great restaurants to visit. This could not have been a better experience!

Harvard University Campus Guided Walking Tour

Meloney_J, Aug 2026

Nice tour!

I believe the guide Dante was Superman disguised as a tour guide. He talked about all of his extracurricular activities on top of being a student and a tour guide. I get tired just thinking about it! Anyway back to the tour...We appreciated the way Dante spoke with us about the history of Harvard and gave his perspective about his life at Harvard as a current student. It was a very hot day however he conducted the tour with no sweat. I definitely loved how he encouraged our group to ask questions and take pictures. No question went unanswered and he was very gracious and thoughtful with his answers. After this tour I think the best way to learn about Harvard is from a great student and leader like Dante. On a personal note, I'd like to say congratulations to Dante in advance. He has a bright future ahead of him. If you're reading this, just know this is great tour. Furthermore, you're receiving a blessing if Dante is assigned to your group. I really enjoyed the Harvard tour! Thank you.

North End Food Tour: Taste Boston's Italian Heritage

Adriana_H, Aug 2026

North end food tour is a must

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an absolutely fantastic food tour through Boston’s North End! Adam was incredible—knowledgeable, friendly, and made the entire experience so much fun. We got to try some amazing Italian food, and the cannolis were absolutely delicious! 🤤 But the Italian sub and clams casino completely blew me away—it was hands down one of the highlights of the tour! If you’re visiting Boston and love great food, history, and a fun experience, I highly recommend this tour. We had such a wonderful time and would definitely do it again! 🇮🇹❤️

Boston Sweet Treats Food Tour: Fresh Donuts, Cider & Much More

Elizabeth_C, Aug 2026

Well-planned tour and delicious donuts

We enjoyed this tour— it was a good combination between walking and taking breaks for donuts. Olivia was a friendly guide and was happy to give recommendations for Boston. If I had to give one criticism, I would have preferred to see another shop vs. having 3 of the 6 donuts being from one store. But the amount was plenty, we tried some different flavors and styles, and everything was delicious.

Felicia_C, Aug 2026

Excellent tour

Brian was a fantastic guide! He is a local and was even a guide at the Massachusetts State House before joining this company. I really enjoyed learning about the Freedom Trail and the history of the pubs we visited. The only thing I would have loved was more variety in the ciders, but that's more on the pubs than the tour.
