What To Expect

Harvard University

Depart New York and trace the Eastern Coast through Connecticut to Massachusetts and its capital, Boston. Our first stop is the city of Cambridge where you'll find one of the most famous and most prestigious universities in the world—Harvard. Our tour starts with a walk in Harvard Yard, the oldest academic ground in America.

John Harvard Statue

See Widener library and rub the shoe of John Harvard for good luck.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)

We continue on a panoramic tour that takes you past City Hall, MIT, and Cambridge College, before crossing over the Charles River and arriving in the center of Boston—considered the intellectual capital of the USA.

Trinity Church

Visit Copley Square with its beautiful Trinity Church, and then continue with a walk along the historical Freedom Trail through Boston Common Park. Afterward, break for lunch (own cost) at Quincy Market, perhaps opting to try the city's world-famous clam chowder or a lobster roll.

Unfortunately the tour was far from what was described in the tour description. Firstly we spent 15 minutes at Harvard and only went to the toilets there. We didnt even see the main buildings or the entrances. We didnt stop at MIT or cambridge, drove past quickly. We asked the tour guide and he said its not included when the tour desciption clearly says 'After lunch, (not included) at Quincy Market and a visit to Boston Common, you'll cross the Charles River to stroll in the squares of the universities of Cambridge, Harvard and MIT, before returning to New York.'
A visit of the universities was supposed to be included and was not. We were very keen to see the universities and was one of the reasons we bought the tour.
Also we did not see site of the famous Tea Party.
Our tour guide wasnt very approachable or accomodating. When we asked about seeing the sites listed on the tour description , we were merely shrugged off.
I am very disappointed and request a complete refund for myself and my 2 friends who booked this tour as we didnt get what we paid for.
service was poor. when i asked the tour guide where the famous Cheers bar was, he had no clue and pointed me to some other bar 'Mccormick' at Quincy market and said thats it. I asked the locals and found the cheers bar.
This is unacceptable to us.

Very good and very professionally guided tour... only one detail: the tour cost per passenger was US$ 165 ($150 + 10% tip) and we were 36 passenger. My calculations based on equipment depreciation, administration costs, fuel, tires, lubricants and spare parts comsumptions, taxes and tolls, operators salary and per-diem as weel as general maintenance cleaning and garage costs, sum for me, around US$95 per passenger, plus a 30% of benefits, yeld to a total of 123.50. To my concern, a price of US125 (tip not included) could be more atractive and a five star rating.
