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

Helen_B, Aug 2026

Definitely worth leaving Boston for a day to do this tour!

We loved our trip to Newport; Lucia was a fantastic driver and guide and made the day really fun with her additional information, stories and tips. The bus was comfy and Lucia had water and snacks for us. The 2 Mansions we went inside were amazing - opulent and extravagant. We also really enjoyed our free time in Newport itself and followed Lucia's recommendedation to go to the Red Parrot for lunch. Also on her recommendation we visited the church where JFK got married and got to see inside. We had a brilliant day, it's been our 19 year old daughter's favourite thing of the holiday. Well worth the time and money.

From Boston: Niagara Falls 2-Day Tour with Overnight Stay

Guerrye_S, Aug 2026

Wonderful experience

I traveled with this company on August 22nd, and I had a wonderful experience. Our driver, Willy, was amazing! After picking everyone up, he clearly explained the itinerary for the day and gave us an estimated arrival time at our destination. Before visiting each site, Willy would tell us what to expect and give us a short and helpful summary about the place we were about to visit. This helped us better understand and appreciate each location and made the entire experience more interesting and enjoyable. Throughout the trip, he drove very carefully and professionally, which made us feel safe and comfortable. He was very attentive to everyone and made sure that each passenger’s needs were met. The guided visits were also very good and well organized. Overall, I had a great experience and truly appreciated Willy’s professionalism, kindness, knowledge, and excellent service. He played an important role in making the entire trip comfortable, enjoyable, and memorable. I highly recommend this company, and I would definitely travel with them again!

North End food Tour

Boston Freedom Trail Walking Tour with Costumed Guide

Costumed guide who made Boston’s history into an entertaining story

We had Ben as a guide. He made the tour interesting, entertaining and comical. My husband and I attended with 2 adult children (ages 18 and 20) who wanted nothing to do with a history lesson, but Ben made telling the history of Boston into more of a story telling session. He kept the group engaged and entertained. I highly recommend this type of tour if you want to learn the history with more enthusiasm and energy rather than just a statement of facts.

Boston's Freedom Trail and Charming Beacon Hill Tour

Jim_G, Jul 2026

Great tour of Freedom Trail

Great, enjoyable and detailed walk through the Freedom Trail and Beacon Hill. Our tourguide, Olivia, was friendly, enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. This was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The only negative belongs to Viator, which mislabeled the meeting g point. We nearly didn’t make the tour even though we got to the area 15 minutes early. Olivia said they tried to correct it with aviator but to not avail. Please, Viator, list the starting point as in front of Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles!

Great cost effective way to do the Freedom Trail!

Very good content, nice being able to go at your own pace and take extra time at stops along the way. Super easy use, install app, loada tour and go. And easy to stop tour for an extended period (like lunch!) and restart just where you left off. Its a long walk - so make sure you have your good walking shoes on. Mostly flat terrain with a few hills towards the end.

Boston Harbor Sunset Cruise

Eva_T, Apr 2026

Beautiful and relaxing experience!

Great evening activity! It was super relaxed and easy to get to the ferry and all the staff were very kind and helpful. The boat is beautiful and the sunset views were gorgeous. This was the perfect date activity but there were also groups of friends and families on board. It was windy on the water so a good coat is a must, but the inside was nice and warm for a break from the weather. The food was good but more appetizer/small bites style so plan on getting a few things to make a light dinner. Would definitely go again!

Boston to New Hampshire Fall Foliage White Mountains Day Trip

Mohammad_H, Oct 2025

Great Foliage tour

We had a great time. Even though the Foliage had already peaked for our trip we still had a great time. Rory was great. He took us to some great spots and we still got to see some great foliage. The weather was amazing too that day. Cold but sunny. Being from Florida we enjoyed the change of weather. Would highly recommend this tour.
