What are people saying about Boston

Marit_F, Aug 2026

Good walk

Be prepared to walk a lot. It's easy walk but it is very long with only a few minutes break in between stops. Our guide, Mark, gave us a very detailed history lesson of which some I never heard about. He is very knowledgeable. He also made the walking as pleasant as possible taking us in shady spots.

Boston to Newport Small-Group Day Trip with Breakers & Marble House Admission

Faith_R, Aug 2026

Viator Tours Rock!

A day trip from Boston to Newport, RI, was amazing and ran smoothly under the guidance and expertise of our driver/guide, Chris. With the easy early hotel pickup, local informative narration and well stocked cooler and snacks (as well as frequent rest stops), he managed our busy well-timed itinerary throughout the day and got us all safely back to Boston on time. We were able to tour two Gilded Age mansions, drive thru many famous sections of the town as well as having a few hours to shop, lunch, or visit the spectacular Newport Harbor and all it has to offer. I would highly recommend this tour which does it all for you! Why drive when you can sit back and relax!? This was our third Viator tour, they’re the best!

Boston's Historic Electric Bike Tour

Louise_C, Jul 2026

Outstanding!

Earlier on our visit, we sent on a trolley tour of Boston and a boat tour on the Charles River. This tour was far superior to either of those tours. Our tour guide, Dunkin, was extremely knowledgeable giving us facts and antedocts that were very, very interesting. He was very conscientious in ensuring that we were riding safely when in areas of congestion and staying together at all times. There were great photo ops which he happily offered to take for anyone. Sena helmets were supplied to each of us which allowed him to talk to us through a microphone in our helmets and clearly hear every word he said on the ride. There was not one complaint by anyone of us who was on the tour. It was the highlight of the day!

Boston Harbor Sunset Sail Tour

Marjorie_T, Jul 2026

Amazing experience.

What an amazing experience! Everything was perfect from our purchase to sailing on the Adirondak III. The weather and views were perfect and the crew was amazing. Charlie and Hannah worked hard to get the sails up and then they walk around waiting on you (drinks and cocktails) on the moving vessel so easily. It was an ex Cc ellent trip and we got a lot of nice pictures.

Boston's 250th Freedom Trail Tour

Felicia_B, Jul 2026

Birth of our nation through the eyes of John Hancock.

I highly recommend the guided Freedom Trail with someone in period dress. Our guide was John Hancock. Not only did we learn more about this founding father than he signed the Declaration of Independence with a large signature, but we were also able to see where history took place. Fascinating! We have been blessed. Our guide did a wonderful job keeping up with a large tour group! Our personal family has 4 children ranging in age from 17 yrs to 10 yrs. They all were glad they did this trail even if they started for “mom”. They also said they appreciated having the period guide and thought our tour was much more interesting for having John Hancock than the other tours they saw taking place with “modern tour guides”. As expected, it was a lot of walking so wear comfortable shoes. Bring water with you. None of the walk was difficult. There were some uneven surfaces (cobblestone type, cemetery portion, up and down from curbs, etc.). Our pace was purposeful but comfortable. Our guide pointed out additional historic places/museums you can visit separately so the Freedom Trail would be a perfect start to your visit to Boston. We did our tour late morning on July 4th. Happy 250th Birthday USA!!!! It was hot but our guide was very considerate to find shady places for us to stop along the trail. John Hancock, you did an excellent job!!! I don’t know how you managed your period dress in the heat.

Boston's Freedom Trail: A Revolutionary Walking Tour

Leslie_M, Jun 2026

Entertaining way to learn about the city

Note: It is a lot of walking and Boston streets are often uneven pavement. Not necessarily the best option for folks with mobility or stability issues. That being said, we loved it! We try to do a walking history tour in most cities we visit and this provided a great background into the history behind the history you learn in school. Another warning, it was a rather large group, probably 30 people. But we had no issues hearing and it didn't slow us down. Do this on your first day and it'll give you an idea of places you may want to revisit later in your trip.

This tour was fun and very interesting. I’m from the Boston area and wanted to see what I was missing so I decided to see what visitors got to experience.

This was a fun, historical, spooky tour of Boston! Olivia, our tour guide, kept everyone engaged, was very entertaining, and knowledgeable on all this history. Having stops at the bars provided nice walking breaks while still keeping the stories going. The walking is not a long route. Would definitely recommend for others to try it out.

City Cruises Boston 90-Minute Harbor Sunset Sightseeing Cruise

Amanda_T, Sep 2025

Don't Be Late

They are not kidding when they say late arrivals will miss the boat. Boston traffic was crazy and we arrived 5 minutes just in time to wave goodbye to our friends on board leaving port. Our friends on board enjoyed the cruise but said it was crowded and there was not enough inside seating. Moral of the story arrive early and plan for Boston traffic.
