What are people saying about Boston

Boston Duck Boat Sightseeing City Tour with Cruise

Nellisha_L, Oct 2026

Great fall activity!

Doing this in the fall is the best! It will be cold, but the Boston foliage is so pretty. Ziggy was our tour guide, and she was super entertaining. I’m from the boston area, but it was so nice to have my boyfriend with me who was visiting for the first time. I got to drive the boat which made the experience even better. Great tour!

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

Anthony_H, Oct 2026

GREAT tour & guide!!

This tour was GREAT! Our guide, Meredith was AMAZING! She knew a lot about the park and was very funny! She even connected with a few of the guests after the tour through where they were from and even food! We learned a lot of great information about the park, even some things that you'd probably only find out on a tour like this! We had a great experience!

Boston: Freedom Trail History Small Group Walking Tour

kathy_s, Oct 2026

Fun outing!

This was a great tour and fantastic way to explore the city on foot. The walk is leisurely and not challenging (except for the occasional section of cobblestones) so it's good for all ages. We learned lots of colonial history, fun facts, and Boston highlights. Our guide was fantastic-- very knowledgeable and happy to answer questions and point out the best photo ops.

Boston’s Politically Incorrect North End Food Tour

Anthony's Little Italy of Boston Experience

If you like getting off the beaten path for a taste of Little Italy of Boston cuisine, this is it. Be prepared for a Rodney Dangerfield experience with an adults only narrator. We had an awesome experience! The food was tasty and the dialogue and stories hilarious. Don't miss this one!

Boston to Martha's Vineyard Day Trip with Optional Island Tour

Jeanne_M, Oct 2026

It was a long day but...

It was a long day but worth it. Our tour guide was interesting and informative. My husband and I did not take the optional tour for Martha's Vineyard and we wish we would have. I would recommend the tour so you can see the whole island. I would like to go back to Marths's Vineyard.

Boston Freedom Trail Walking Tour with Costumed Guide

Kate_S, Oct 2026

Catherine the great… different historical context

It was amazing! Historical context, jokes, answers to my questions. Catherine even had an accent as if she came from overseas and was truly a woman of the revolution while walking. My parents recommended it and I thought, why… but I’m so glad they did and that I did. The Granary Cemetary was truly one of my favorite stops learning the history of John Hancock and Paul Revere. I also loved the architecture, I will never not want to see historical context through buildings. I will go again and recommend to anyone visiting.

Boston Tea Party Ships and Museum Admission

Wendy_S, Oct 2026

A fun way to bring history to life

The costumed staff really gave their all to make this an enjoyable experience. Audience participation is encouraged but you can choose to which level. I learnt a lot about the history from the actors and there was plenty of chance to ask questions. The museum was also really well organised and really clever with films showing the history of the revolution which made it suitable for the whole family.

City Cruises Boston Historic Sightseeing Harbor Cruise

Steve_W, Oct 2026

Great tour! Tour...

Great tour! Tour director was entertaining and knowledgeable, with a good combination of information and quiet time to just enjoy the harbor sites. Travelled with a family member in a wheelchair. Staff was friendly and helpful! I recommend this tour to anyone who wants to get some great pictures of the Boston skyline while learning some basic Boston history!

City Cruises Boston Whale Watching Cruise by High-Speed Boat

Frances_A, Oct 2026

Make sure you find the...

Make sure you find the line to board and get there early. That way you can choose your location on the cruise. We were lucky to have multiple sightings during our cruise. It was difficult to view everything with the large crowd. Be aware that the winds and water are rough. One of my family members fell during the return trip. It’s very difficult to stand. They need to refit with better rails and be more informative about the hazards.

Historic Boston HOP-ON/HOP-OFF Narrated Trolley Tour

Janet_G, Aug 2026

A great way to see many of Boston’s major sites in a convenient and relaxing way, especially if you want to limit the amount of walking. The trolleys run frequently, making it easy to hop off and explore and then continue your tour when you’re ready. The narration provides helpful information and history along the way, making this a great option for first-time visitors or anyone looking for an easy way to see the city.
