The driver was speaking with a very heavy Boston accent. Shortly after the tour started, we politely asked to speak slower. His immediate response what he wasn’t there to be told how fast or slow he should speak. There weee a few small children and their mother, two Brits, and the three of us. Complete waste of money.

Hi Elizabeth, We’re very sorry to hear that your guide didn’t meet your expectations. This is the first time we’ve received this kind of feedback. Many of our guides are native Bostonians who take pride in their accents, as they believe it adds authenticity to the experience. Our tours are designed to be rich in content, and given Boston’s deep historical significance, we strive to provide as much information as possible to our guests. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. We truly hope you’ll consider joining us again on your next visit to Boston. Best regards, Mike T

We had an outstanding tour of Boston with one of the best tour guides, Jesse. The knowledge he has and the fact that he was born and raised in Boston, made the stories that much more entertaining. His harmonica playing, put the tour out of the ballpark. I will certainly do this again and bring my friends. Of course we will look for Jesse’s schedule. Thank you Jesse for making a rainy, cold windy Boston day fun and enjoyable.
