What are people saying about Boston

Freedom Trail Walking Tour with Bunker Hill and USS Constitution

Mitchell_S, Oct 2026

Unique and worth buying

Great Tour, the tour guide was well informed and provided perspective from the New England/Boston perspective on its history versus a more general approach that a lot of historians may provide. This meant the stories were the same but the motivations and objectives flexed to the regional point of view. Very interesting in that form of discussion.

Boston Seafood Lovers Food and History Walking Tour

Jason_C, Oct 2026

Excellent

This was a great way to get some history of the area, some great food, and become more familiar with the North End. Dan was an excellent guide and gave us some other food recommendations for our trip. I’m not a history guy at all but it felt like being in Boston I should get a bit of a history lesson. I love food so I decided to do a food tour to make the history lesson bearable. Dan kept the history interesting and the food delicious. Highly recommend this tour!

Boston Freedom Trail Self-Guided Tour with Audio Narration & Map

Lee_T, Oct 2026

THE best way to explore Boston's Freedom Trail

This was surely THE best way to explore Boston's Freedom Trail. You get an infomative narrative, loaded with history and facts about the places around you, piped directly into your ear, and at the pace that suits you best. Want to stop off for a coffee or a beer? The GPS knows that you've stopped, and the narrative picks up again when you're ready to go. It's the ultimte in flexibility, and you're not struggling to stay close to a real guide to hear what he or she is trying to explain. What's not to like! And it's also tremendous value for money. This was the second of two self-guided audio tours we've done, and we've been hugely impressed. We'll definitely look out for more in other places we plan to visit in the future. If you haven't tried them, I'd recommend Action Tours.

Boston Seafood Tour: Behind the Scenes at the Historic Fish Pier

Diane_G, Oct 2026

Nabil was fabulous!

Its a tour that combines traditional seafood stops but with so much more historical and informative facts due to Nabil's love of the city, fishing Industry and people. Great sense of humor that kept the 3 hr. Tour engaged. Visiting the fishing docks was the best so you can really appreciate the trade.

Boston Historic Pubs Tour with Drinks and Tastings Included

Janet_B, Oct 2026

Fun time exploring Boston W/Big Al

Big Al was very knowledgeable about the history of Boston. Fun to talk to & answered our questions. He adjusted our walking if needed pointed out yummy spots to grab a sub (which we went back for before leaving the city-Monica’s Merchants) and delicious pastries- Mikes or Modern- cash only.

Haunted Boston Ghost Tours

Kate_W, Oct 2026

Excellent tour!

My dad and I signed up for the haunted Boston tour as two people who have lived in Boston our entire lives. We learned spooky/creepy facts about the city that we had never heard before. I would absolutely recommend the tour to Boston natives (and tourists of course) that are looking for something different to do in the fall!

Boston's 250th Freedom Trail Tour

Nicole_J, Sep 2026

Would HIGHLY recommend!

This was a great tour! Our guide, Catherine, was super informative and had a great personality. The tour felt very interactive, and it was evident that she genuinely enjoys her job. I would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Boston! It was the perfect length to get just enough information and history about the area without feeling overwhelming.

Downtown Freedom Trail, Beacon Hill & Back Bay Walking Tour

Sandra_L, Aug 2026

Informative Tour

This turned out being a private tour for us which was a bonus. Allen answered all of our questions and took his time . The Freedom Trail component was informative and thorough. 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.

Boston's Revolutionary and Drunken Past with Beer Included

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.

Boston Pizza Lovers Food and History Walking Tour

Sarah_R, Jul 2026

Loved the pizza

We had a great time on the Freedom Trail Pizza Tour! The three pizza slices were all delicious and offered a fun variety, and the tour itself was a perfect mix of Boston history and great food. Margot was an excellent host—knowledgeable, engaging, and made the whole experience enjoyable. We’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Boston!

Haunted Boston Booze and Boos Ghost Walking Tour

Urmi_S, May 2026

Fun filled & informative!

Our guide was knowledgeable, engaging and considerate - she hails from Cape Cod and that made the tour even more interesting. The tour involves a bit of walking but there are ample breaks at local pubs along the way. Highly recommend for a fun evening, especially for history buffs.

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.
