Boston’s Politically Incorrect North End Food Tour

Cynthia_B, Nov 2026

Great Tour

They will learn about the North send and Italian food. Anthony is a wealth of information and cares about the group’s experience. Do not go on the tour if you are offended by cursing. If you do not go, you will miss out on a memorable experience and great food!

The Full Revolutionary Story Epic Small-Group Boston Walking Tour

greg_r, Nov 2026

Freedom Trail Tour

Chris was our guide and he has a wealth of historical information to share. Tour route was well laid out and small group made it easier to interact and hear. My suggestion would be to share the critical points as it became difficult to digest so much information. This could shorten the tour a bit as most folks have other agenda items to get to during their day.

Boston: Freedom Trail History Small Group Walking Tour

Kathryn_L, Nov 2026

History Come to Life

If “Night at the Museum” was a Bostonian tour guide, its name would be NATALIE! Our guide Natalie was incredible and made history come to life. It was a 2.5 hour tour- I didn’t know if we would be able to last that long- but, we were fully engaged the whole time. She was fun and energetic and my husband and I both felt like this tour was the best part of our Boston trip. Thanks, Natalie, for an awesome tour!!

Boston Tea Party Ships and Museum Admission

Andrea_R, Oct 2026

Hurrah!!!

The entire experience was amazing! The interactive activities made the visit so engaging and enjoyable from start to finish. Learning about the history of the Boston Tea Party was truly fascinating. It was such a fun, educational, and memorable experience. I highly recommend it!

Boston North End Food Tour with Authentic Local Flavors & Dishes

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!

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.

Boston Ghosts and Gravestones Trolley Tour

Jake_F, Oct 2026

Fun tour but not good if you have mobility issues

There is a bit more walking than described in the listing so be aware of that if you have mobility issues. I assumed the trolley would drop off and pick up at the gates of the cemeteries but that is not the case. But this aide the guides put on good show. Our guide Harlan had good stories, and the rest of the crew were fun as well. Would recommend if you enjoy the slightly morbid side of history.

Boston Freedom Trail Walking Tour with Costumed Guide

Tim_H, Oct 2026

A wonderful guided walking tour

This is a very worthwhile experience. It is a walking led and narrated by an actor dressed in period costume. On the day I went, our guide was named Francis, and he was excellent! I really enjoyed all the descriptions and stories he related in the tour. It lasts about 2 hours, beginning at Boston Common and ending in North Boston at The Paul Revere House. It is a terrific way to learn about Historical Boston and the Freedom Trail, and a lot is covered in the time on the tour. I highly recommend it!

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!!

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. We had Joey for a driver on multiple occasions and he was the greatest person and very knowledgeable. Give 10 stars to our man Joey.
