This was absolutely one of the best tour experiences I’ve ever had. Maria arrived on time and was so upbeat and friendly. She had an extensive knowledge of the city and gave such great stories about everywhere we visited. Maria even had flowers for my mom to celebrate her 73rd birthday. I would highly recommend this tour or any that Maria offers to everyone visiting Boston!

Michelle_M

Maria was fantastic! Our tour was a lot of fun and Maria knows so many fun facts about Boston! She balances just the right amount of walking and driving. We skipped lunch and drove out to Boston University and Northeastern so my daughter who’s a Junior in High School could see the areas. If you want to get the real Boston tour this is one you don’t want to miss!!

Lori_B

Maria was our tour guide and she was fantastic! She was incredibly knowledgeable, fun and energetic!!

Our family loved visiting Boston! Maria was an amazing tour guide, we would highly recommend her to any other travellers - we'll definitely book her again next time we're in Boston!

Best for 2 or 3 people, seating not comfortable for 4th adult. The viewing for extra adult was very limited, would be better on a bus. Guide was lovely and very informative on history, but maybe could slow speech down a little.
