What are people saying about Boston

Debbie_K, Oct 2026

A Tasty Tour!

We were fortunate to have Gabe all to ourselves for this tour! We loved all the food stops (the cannolis were excellent!) but we enjoyed the conversation with Gabe most of all. Excellent discussions on history, architecture & food and we learned so much about Boston. All the stops were in a concentrated area with plenty of bathroom availability:) so I would say this would also be doable in the winter. Thanks Gabe for a wonderful tour!

The Full Revolutionary Story Epic Small-Group Boston Walking Tour

Jayne_H, Oct 2026

Revolutionary War Tour-Rob Rocks!

Rob was extremely knowledgeable about Boston history…and not simply the Revolutionary War era! He was accommodating (we were late due to one of us needing a scooter for her broken foot), friendly and funny. Rob genuinely made us feel as though we were in the moment!!

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

ANTHONY_J, Oct 2026

Jackson's Awsome Tour To Martha's Vineyard

First started with Johnny Boston XIV. He was punctual with water and treats. He was entertaining, knowledgeable about Boston's history and a good driver. He allowed us rest room breaks throughout the tour where we could get coffee/snacks. Tom's guided life long resident knowledge was great. Tom's gave us a history lesson and we toured the entire island. Thanks Johnny Boston XIV, Tom, Viator for a tour my wife and I thouroughly enjoyed.

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

Kelly_J, Oct 2026

Fenway Park Experience

The tour of Fenway was great! Our tour guide, George was amazing! He made the tour so interesting and fun. He has so many great stories, and has incredible historic knowledge. The best part is getting to sit in the outfield atop the Green Monster(Monsta). I would highly recommend this tour!

City Cruises Boston Whale Watching Cruise by High-Speed Boat

Sherri_H, Oct 2026

Great experience!

The captain of our whale watching tour stayed out a little longer than anticipated because of all of the great whale activity we were seeing. She took special care as to not disrupt the whales', especially when we were in the "whale soup!" The naturalists were knowledgeable and about as amazed as we all were when we saw 2 whales breech!

Freedom Tail experience

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Outstanding Freedom Trail Tour with Alejandro G.! Alejandro G. was an absolutely fantastic tour guide! He brought Boston’s rich history to life with his incredible knowledge, engaging storytelling, and enthusiasm. He made the Freedom Trail so much more than just a walking tour—it was an unforgettable experience! Alejandro was personable, entertaining, and passionate about sharing the history behind the landmarks. He kept everyone engaged, answered questions, and shared fascinating details that made each stop meaningful and memorable. His personality and love for what he does truly made the tour special.

Joyce_H, Oct 2026

Excellent tour! We highly recommend.

We highly recommend this tour! We had Kevin as our guide/narrator and he was outstanding -- excellent presentation, giving us lots of historical facts and interesting stories about Boston and the Harbor. Kevin made history "come alive." We have lived outside of Boston for 50 years and never done this tour; we came with visiting friends. A must-do and we will do this again. Thank you!!

Boston’s Politically Incorrect North End Food Tour

Alana_S, Oct 2026

Like traveling with you, Uncle, to Italy 🇮🇹

Eey, what can I say? A Cali girl in Boston. Reminds me of locals in SF. Our guide, Anthony, was a Chef's Kiss. It was as if I was traveling with family. Knowledge of all the nooks of the North End. LOCAL LEGEND, HERE. The food is phenomenal. Ernesto's Pizza, Monica's Subs, Espresso Gelato. I will definitely be doing this again.

Boston Tea Party Ships and Museum Admission

Meghan_C, Oct 2026

Don't leave Boston without doing this!

This is a must-see!! We would come back to Boston just to experience this again. Not only do they reenact the night of the Boston Tea Party, but you're part of the story! Each participant gets a card explaining who they are and what brought them to this moment. The cast members are so incredible! I have never seen an audience get into a tour so much. It was incredible! Huzzah! Also, my favorite part was getting to see an original tea crate. After the tour, be sure to watch other tours throw their tea overboard from the Harborwalk. It's another great photo op, and cool to see everyone throw the tea from a distance.

Boston Ghosts and Gravestones Trolley Tour

Breeann_V, Oct 2026

A little worried it would be "too much"

Overall great experience. At first I was a little concerned I had booked something a touch too theatrical and would become annoyed 😆. But our guide Anthrax (? Demon) I believe was great he used just enough drama to be entertaining but stopped short of me wanting to toss myself out of the trolley. Really great way to see several burial grounds throughout the city and hear some new spooky tales. 👻

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

Tim_B, Sep 2026

Tim and Jean from North Dakota

It was really easy the routes were great it is the best way to see the historic sites of Boston without having to drive. Very reasonable prices, my wife and I had a great time.
