Highly recommend to take the tour to Boston with RoyalCityTours, supervised by an excellent guide Mili. She was very informative in providing the histories, legends, and fun facts of places where we visited which were many. She has thorough understanding of Harvard University and other Boston places, and more importantly, was ensuring passing detailed info & history as we go. They have an excellent driver too, maintained an excellent speed with smooth driving, was a vital person ensuring, we are following time, in distantly located tour destinations.
