This was an amazing and must do tour! Two completely different experiences in one tour. Alexandria was a great tour guide. Very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Highly recommended!

Alex’s super nice, she told us a lot about the history of Boston and she also raced me which was fun too! 😆 So it’s worth it!

Chris worked with me to customize the day’s itinerary to fit my needs and wants. Maria made it happen! It was a wonderful day, seeing several new-to-me sights that were of interest. Maria is an extremely knowledgeable guide and great company. A fantastic excursion!
