Very informative and a great place to visit to get out of New York for the day. The trip instelf was great, would highly recommend. My bus was only a 1/4 full so lots of space and not too noisy. Stopped at all the places I wanted to see on the way and in Boston itself. The only negative comment I have is our guide Eddie, whilst very informative and factual, I didn't find him overly friendly and he didn't smile. As a tour guide, you need to completely engage with your tourists and this will make or break your enjoyment of the trip. Whilst he gave great information and was very thorough, there was no personal connection with any of the tourists on the bus except his fellow Italians at the front of the bus I was told not to at the front as I wasn't italian yet two Australian girls were told to sit anywhere they liked?? who he translated everything he was saying to us, back to them. Great for the Italians but a little impersonal to everyone else. I felt that he was 'in the office' on another tour like every other day. Unfortunately because of this the star rating dropped to 3 but the tour itself I would put at a 4.
Eddie was a great host.
He provided a great information from start to finish.
I was very excited to take this tour with my friend as we were interested to hear more about the history of Boston Tea Party, Freedom Trail etc. but unfortunately the tour guide was rubbish and completely rushed through the entire tour. He barely gave us any historical or notable information, it was just really unfortunate. I have done other tours with the same company but this was just very rushed, we spent more time at the rest stations rather than the sights. The tourguide was not passionate and seemed just concerned about get back to New York. My friend was trying to ask him a question about the history and he completely brushed her off because he wanted to cross the street so quickly. At the end of the tour he had the audacity to tell us how much each of us should tip. I like to tip when I have had a great experience, this guide needs to be changed. The drivers however, we just outstanding, very friendly, safe and always had a smile on thier faces. I tipped for them.
