Boston’s Politically Incorrect North End Food Tour

Brian_O, Apr 2026

a lotta fun with some tasty treats!!

A fun walk with some tasty treats around the neighbourhood!! Anthony was great - kept us all smiling as he told us stories from the "old neighborhood". The sandwich we had was a standout - so good! But everything was good - nothing I didn't like! A great way to spend a rainy afternoon!!

Afternoon Tea Bus Tour in Dublin

Danielle_T, Apr 2026

Tea Bus Adventure

Our first 'tour' in Dublin and perfect for Easter Sunday Lunch. The semi-guided tour gave us ideas for additional places to visit. The sandwiches were good, the scones were delish, as were the desserts! I would've liked my tea a little hotter. We loved the takeaway souvenir cups! Sheelagh, Ciaofine (I've butchered the spelling!) Zibi, and Rob were all great!

Dublin Highlights and Hidden Gems Guided Walking Tour

Matthew_M, Apr 2026

Dublin Highlights & Gems Tour Review: 5 stars!

Amazing tour! Dan was the best guide--he gave an incredibly interesting and engaging tour. This guy should be a teacher! We learned so much about Dublin and Ireland. Can't recommend this tour highly enough. He also gave everyone his Dublin recommendations for food, pubs, music, activities, etc.

Dublin Book of Kells, Castle and Molly Malone Statue Guided Tour

Kirsten_C, Apr 2026

History, architecture, and more

Samantha was very knowledgeable about the history and architecture of the area which made the walk through Dublin extra special. In addition to the history of the town and its buildings, Samantha also had great recommendations for places to eat, and pubs to visit!

Boston Masterclass: Citywide Story‑First Revolution Walking Tour

Judy_M, Apr 2026

THE tour to take!!

Chris was amazing! Wow what a great tour! He was informative, certainly knew his history and made it fun. As we progressed through the tour different members of our tour were given an ID badge for the historical figure he was talking about. At the end of the tour he tied it all together very nicely and summarized the tour. Also he gave some great restaurant recommendations.

Boston: Freedom Trail History Small Group Walking Tour

Meredith_S, Apr 2026

A grey history lesson

A very informative tour filled with the early history of America! Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable. There’s plenty of pauses during the walking tour so kids and elderly shouldn’t have trouble keeping up. Half way we took a short break to use the bathroom and purchase snacks.

St Patrick's Cathedral, Book of Kells and Dublin Castle Tour

Joline_M, Mar 2026

Our Viking Tour guide.

It was interesting. Our guide, Malene, was wonderful. She gave us a lot of information to ensure that we enjoyed our experience and understood the history behind what we were seeing. She also gave us great recommendations for restaurants and pubs. It is a fair amount of walking but was not taxing.

Dublin Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour with Guide and Little Museum Entry

Sherry_S, Mar 2026

I highly recommend...

I highly recommend booking the hop on hop off tour. The buses have friendly and knowledgeable drivers. The stops are clearly marked and easy to find. While waiting for the next bus, we could check the bus’s location on an interactive map. We stopped at all of the places we had planned on seeing while in Dublin. Overall, it was a wonderful day.

Tour of Historic Fenway Park, America's Most Beloved Ballpark

Molly_W, Mar 2026

Must do!

This was my favorite tour in Boston by far. I am not big on baseball and this tour really made me want to come back and see a game in this historic park. I could really tell our tour guide loved her job and had so many stories to share. The tour moved along nicely with enough time to get all the pictures without feeling rushed.

St Patricks Cathedral. Dublin Castle, Book of Kells Heritage Tour

Theresa_C, Jan 2026

Covers three highlights of Dublin

We had a very small group of 6 (we were 3 of the 6). The guide was very knowledgeable and answered all the questions from the group. For the book of Kells & library part of the tour, the guide gave us a preview of what was to come before we entered since they are not allowed to "guide" within the buildings. The Dublin castle tour is the exterior only, but the guide mentioned that there is a tour of the interior of the church/castle which we ended up doing on our own on another day. St Stephen's church was also interesting to see and being the last stop on our tour, one could stay longer, if desired.

Boston Tea Party Ships and Museum Admission

Daniel_L, Jan 2026

No regrets

The Boston Tea Party Ships and Museum was an outstanding experience and one of the most engaging historical attractions we’ve visited. It’s incredibly immersive — from stepping onto the ships to participating in the reenactment, you feel genuinely transported back in time rather than just observing history from a distance. The actors and guides were knowledgeable, energetic, and made complex historical moments accessible and memorable for all ages. The interactive elements kept the experience dynamic, and the pacing was perfect — informative without ever feeling rushed or overwhelming. The museum itself is well-designed, with thoughtful exhibits and multimedia presentations that bring the story of the Boston Tea Party to life in a meaningful way. It’s educational, entertaining, and surprisingly fun. Whether you’re a history enthusiast or just looking for a unique experience in Boston, this is absolutely worth the visit. We left with a deeper appreciation for the events that shaped the country and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city.
