First, may I start with just saying that the Boston area is beautiful, the nature/history is mesmerizing. Our guide, Mitch Lapin (thank you once again btw) made everything to make sure our tour would be as interesting and as fun as possible. I was overwhelmed of his knowledge of all the historic sites. He was very patient of the thousands of questions from my boyfriend and answered everyone with a smile. Highly recommend our tour guide and look forward to doing it again in the future.

The tour was amazing. Really easy to follow and showed us some incredible places in Boston/American history. I would recommend this tour to anyone who’s coming in from out of town and locals who want to learn more about their city.

The tour was excellent and very entertaining! There were a lot of great stories and even some humor in there. I’m going to check this app out in other cities in the future!
