Top Boston Day Trips

If you are interested in African American history in Boston this is the tour. Mehgan did an excellent job and was knowledgeable on the history of AA in Boston. She was very passionate in her tone on the free slaves and their struggles to become free as all humans back in the era. She gave breaks when walking the Beacon Hills area. We enjoyed our private tour due to another group canceled. Lucky for us :-). I would definitely recommend this tour with Mehgan. You will learn alot and be proud of AA history. I'm glad to know that Boston preserved it for generations. Kudos to Boston!!!

This tour definitely exceeded my expectations! We had 3 generations of travelers from ages 7-79 and everyone really enjoyed it. It was all of our our first time in Boston and this was a great activity for our first day. We had BJ as our guide and he communicated with me in advance of the tour and picked us up timely at our hotel. Our first stop was an Italian coffee/pastry shop in the North End. There we talked through a loose plan for the day, but the best thing about this tour was that BJ was totally flexible… There were certain places we wanted to spend more time, and BJ accommodated us, provided interesting commentary and even helping entertain the kids when one was bored and the rest of us were taking a little longer at a site/exhibit. His vehicle was clean, fully functioning and he had parking passes at certain key places allowing us to pack a lot into one day. I would definitely recommend this tour and BJ to anyone visiting Boston! We will talk about this day and the places we visited for years to come. Already want to plan a return trip! :)

We had an absolutely wonderful experience on the Newport Small Group Tour from Boston! Two days before the trip, I received a call with detailed information about exactly where we would meet, and everything went exactly as promised. We were greeted at the designated location right on time, given our itinerary, and from there, the entire day ran like clockwork. A few days earlier, I had taken a small-group tour to Maine that I thought was great—until I took this trip with Chris! Chris was training another guide on the day of our tour, so we essentially got a two-for-one experience when it came to the tour guides. Both were fantastic! From the historic buildings in Boston to the entire drive into Rhode Island, we learned interesting facts and stories about the landmarks along the way. The trip was incredibly well organized and completely seamless. Although the tour was about 11 hours long, it never felt overwhelming or too long. The time really flew by because there was always something interesting to see or learn about. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone staying in Boston who wants to take a day trip to Newport and experience the beautiful Rhode Island mansions. Chris and the team did an outstanding job!

Willy was a great guide! His communication with the group via text was very helpful including giving us the itinerary the day before. We had ample time at each stop. The 15 person van has strong AC which was good for the hot day. I would definitely recommend this tour.

We had a great day with Stewie! We have been to Boston many times but wanted to show it off to our 12 year old grandson. We would recommend that most walk the Freedom Trail. But we are in our 80's and no longer have the stamina to get to some key spots on foot. Stewie has a vast knowledge of the area and filled our need in getting around... Old Ironsides, Harvard and Bunker Hill would have been hard but our grandson enjoyed running up into the monument, boarding the old ship etc because Stewie got us there. Stewie got us there. Lunch was great at Ernesto's in North area. We heard lots of great stories from Stewie and he picked us up at our hotel and was willing to take us to Fenway for our game! He really fit the bill for us and would anyone with mobility problems. Other places along the Freedom Trail might have been better if you can walk as they were more like drive bys but his services fit our needs. Thanks Stewie!

It was a great day learning about the history of the Salem Witch Trial. We had a trolley tour and the tour guide on the trolley was excellent driving around the city and listening to the history of Salem. After the trolley we went to the Witch's Museum and learned interesting facts. If you have time, you need to visit the Witch's house too. We had approximately 2 hours for lunch and shopping. I wished we had 2 1/2 hours instead of 2 hours. Afterwards we proceeded to the oldest candy shop in the US. Then we headed to the House of the Seven Gables guided by a tour guide. This was very interesting, especially the hidden staircase in the house! The tour was excellent to learn about the history of the house. I would highly recommend this tour. We were back in Boston by 5:00pm.

The tour hit the key sites as advertised. Jenny was knowledgeable and also attentive to my wife’s health needs and adapted the pace as necessary. She was flexible with the schedule because of the summer heat, and kept the journey interesting and meaningful.
