Great tour & the BEST food!

Anthony & his tour are a can’t miss! We loved hearing about the history of the North End in relation to Anthony & his family. He’s a great guy w/a big heart who delivers an excellent tour. In top of it, it was by far the best food we experienced in Boston and we can’t wait to revisit all of the food stops. Thanks, Anthony!!

Emily was very knowledgeable and funny. Organized and on schedule. I would say this tour is really just to give you information on a few sites and the history behind them. It does not include entrance into any of the churches, castles, or trinity college. Thank you!

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.

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.

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

Lori_B, Dec 2025

Loads of Fun and History!

TLDR Version: The Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum Tour is quite fun and educational. You should do it. On Friday morning, December 26, 2025 we enjoyed the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum Tour. It was quite fun, and educational. They had actors in period dress, not only acting out and narrating the history, but adding humor to it as well. For example, "Peter - the rope maker's apprentice" (played by a woman) went around the room asking people where they are from, and when someone said, "Texas", he said, "where is this place?" Then the guy was quick enough to respond, "Mexico". There was audience participation with role playing of some of the rebels, and throwing tea off the ship. The presentation covered events leading up (from 1765) to The Boston Tea Party happening on December 16, 1773, a protest against British tea taxes up to the "Shot Heard 'Round the World", which refers to the start of fighting at Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775, igniting the Revolutionary War. These events, happening just over a year apart in Massachusetts, escalated tensions from protest to open warfare. Amongst many other things, we also learned that Paul Revere most likely said, "The Regulars are coming out!" and did not SHOUT "The British are coming!" because colonists still considered themselves British, and "Regulars" clearly identified the enemy (British soldiers); his mission required secrecy, so he warned key figures like Samuel Adams and John Hancock in hushed tones (not shouting), alerting the militia for the Battles of Lexington and Concord. Also, Paul got all the credit in popular history, and we never hear of other riders that helped, such as William Dawes and Samuel Prescott. We also got to see the only surviving tea box, which is smaller than I expected. The tea chests from the Boston Tea Party were large, sturdy wooden boxes, roughly a cubic foot in size, holding 75 to over 300 pounds of tea, but the only known surviving one (the Robinson Chest) is smaller, about 10" high, 13" wide, and 12" deep, a "half chest" size. Full chests were built for sea travel, often lead-lined, and varied, with some holding around 353 lbs of tea.

Boston Duck Boat Sightseeing City Tour with Cruise Along Charles River

Must do in Boston!

Yes, you must do it. A great introduction to the city, with some humor mixed in. A local just told me that he learned things about a city that he never knew it’s entertaining the whole time & family friendly. The tour guides let the children drive the boat on the Charles River, which is a cool thing for a kid to experience. Book it - you won’t regret it!

Boston’s revolutionary past, elegant architecture, scenic harbor, and great food make a potent mix. Topping the history agenda are tours of the Freedom Trail, a 16-point route around the city’s American Revolution sites, followed by hop-on hop-off trolleys, boat-and-bus combos, and harbor cruises that deliver varying perspectives on the city, old and new. Next come special-interest Boston tours: Explore the Tea Party Ships museum, Cambridge’s Harvard campus, and baseball’s Fenway Park; savor the city's beloved seafood and Italian-inspired dishes; and join ghost-themed trolley rides. Then, if time allows, cast your net wider by heading to nearby Salem or Martha’s Vineyard.
