What are people saying about Boston

Boston’s Politically Incorrect North End Food Tour

Myra_V, Oct 2026

Anthony is amazing!

This isn’t for the faint at heart. Anthony is amazing. A true Italian who swears, smokes and drinks coffee while on the tour. He is indeed politically incorrect and we loved every bit of it! He tells it to you straight. If you don’t like hearing the truth, then this may not be the tour for you. Which is okay! Just know this ahead of time. Food was great, but his stories were better!

Boston: Freedom Trail History Small Group Walking Tour

Pat_B, Oct 2026

The emotional birth of our nation

Zoe was an excellent guide. I appreciated the way she tried to share both sides of each story as there were always different eyewitness accounts. She shared the journey through time and through individuals that were all familiar. Back in school, these stories were something to be memorized for a test. Zoe’s presentation made it feel and exposed how similar people still respond today, just as they did in the 1700’s. I left with an emotional connection to the birth of our country.

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

William_S, Oct 2026

This tour takes you...

This tour takes you through the history of the ballpark: its construction, the owners, the players, and the history of the team. You walk all over the ballpark, every section high an low. A lot of stairs but elevators are available. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and spoke loudly with a microphone. If you are a baseball fan you must take this tour.

Boston Ghosts and Gravestones Trolley Tour

Rebeca_U, Oct 2026

Fantastic ride through the city!

Fantastic ride through the city. Anthraxicon (our guide) was very knowledgeable, and Dottie in the graveyards made the trip especially memorable. For those who didn’t see in the description of the trolley ride, there are two walking excursions through two burying grounds after dark. That being said, it was wonderful to be able to see these sites without all the crowds.

Elizabeth was a fantastic...

Elizabeth was a fantastic guide for our family of 4. She made the food and history approachable for all ages. The kids loved meeting Chef Bob and holding the lobsters. We all had different favorite stall at Boston Public Market and the pizza and cannoli in the north end were all around hits. Elizabeth was great at knowing when the kids were ready to head to the next stop and when they needed a walking break. She also found scenic spots for us to enjoy our bites.

Boston Duck Boat Sightseeing City Tour with Cruise

BruceSilverman1gmail, Sep 2026

Quack Quack Quack - Great Duckboat tour.

Boston’s Duckboat cruise is informative, inclusive and lots and lots of fun. Then land portion includes (be quick!) opportunities for photos of iconic buildings, the USS Constitution (“Old Ironsides”), ancient streets and monuments. The highlight, though, is when the vehicle enters the river. The views from the river surface are great, and you may even be given the opportunity to steer the boat! A live narrator points out the key sites, while explaining the origin of the American Revolution, which began in Boston. Our narrator was also very funny! We began and ended our 80-minute tour at the Aquarium location, which proved to be easy to get to from our cruise ship. We highly recommend it!

Boston Tea Party Ships and Museum Admission

Clair_N, Sep 2026

Entertaining, but with a deeper message

Though this is billed more for children, my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the Boston Tea Party re-enactment! We are in our mid 70's, and non Americans, but recalled from our school history lessons the background to the Boston Tea Party. The experience, though entertaining also added a lot of information that we lacked, and deepened our understanding of the start of the independence movement in America. Would thoroughly recommend it to both young and old alike!

City Cruises Boston Whale Watching Cruise by High-Speed Boat

Erica_D, Sep 2026

Highlight of our trip!

I've got nothing but good things to say about this tour. Hands down, it's one of the coolest things I've ever been a part of - and that is factoring in a fairly abnormal voyage that we were on. Our tour had to swap out boats so we had a bit of a delayed start, but the crew of the boat were so nice about it and got us underway as quickly as possible. Then the swells we encountered were much higher than the readings indicated and we were forced to turn around before getting out to our intended destination. The crew handled the unexpected problem with ease and decisiveness, promising that everyone would be getting a refund, no questions asked, since we didn't make it to our intended whale-watching site. Then our trip took a turn. Nearly as soon as we changed our heading, a minke whale showed up and swam around us for quite a while, coming right up to the side of the ship and even performing a few barrel rolls to show off. The "shooting star of the sea" is a fitting nickname for this creature. It was so much fun to watch! A few minutes later, a pair of humpback whales turned up as well and we got to witness them do some incredible fluking dives. I was literally choked up watching such mighty and majestic animals in their natural habitat. The company still insisted on issuing everyone on board a refund for the trip being cut short even though we ended up getting quite the show. I donated it right back to the New England Aquarium as the experience more than lived up to expectation for us. Most importantly, through it all, the naturalist on board, Briana, was simply perfect. She was so sweet and friendly as she walked around the ship, stopping to talk to every single group aboard multiple times. She was a wealth of knowledge as she narrated our voyage and helped us all to see and appreciate the whales that we encountered. She is clearly so passionate about the animals and she was a joy to listen to. All in all, my family adored this tour, despite the chaos. The ship was clean and well cared-for. The crew was wonderful and courteous, Briana was an angel, and I would absolutely recommend this to anyone in the area. Our trip to Boston would not have been complete without this whale tour. Thank you so much for a great time.

The fascinating evolution of Boston Harbor, on a comfortable boat ride

Well organized, seating is comfortable, great views, skilled boat crew and entertaining, knowledgable host/narrator. She was entertaining and covered a remarkable amount of fascinating facts and stories. Well worth the 60 minutes and the price of admission!

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

Janet_G, Aug 2026

A great way to see many...

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.
