This was an amazing trip! There were several groups who spoke different languages but I didn’t feel like I missed out on anything! We left on time and were offered to be dropped off closer than our pick up point. We had ample time to take photos, truly visit each location, and the guides were extremely knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this trip if you’re into history, sight seeing, and an overall great time! The only reason I gave 4 stars is because there was a gentleman who was allowed to smoke on the bus and nobody said anything about it…. Even though he was sitting directly behind the tour guide.

This is a glance into Boston to see if you would return. Long day with lots of driving. Driver was fast and a little too snappy with the brakes

Really enjoyed this tour but sadly Harvard Univeristy was closed for graduation at this time. so that was a small segment I wish we didn't have to manage what little touring we could. Besides that, the guide was amazing, kind and made sure we were all accounted for and safe. She gave us ample times to meet up even after giving us regroup times before dispatching us for private shopping or exploration. She explained topics and attractions In great detail and offered best options for places to eat and things to do. Would recommend!
