    Arturas is a warm, engaging, knowledgeable tour guide who is clearly passionate about what he does! I've lived in Boston for 10 years but was intrigued by his website so my friend and I signed up for a tour. Even as a local, there were so many fun surprises on his tour and so many tidbits and places I never knew about! He's clearly put a lot of research and work into crafting an interesting tour and it was a really lovely way to spend 2 hours in the city. I was happy to support him as a local small business owner - Arturas is one of the nicest humans you'll ever meet - and I would definitely recommend this tour, for locals and tourists alike!

    As a lifelong Boston native I was pleasantly surprised to learn facts I did not know and it was a pleasant walk. I liked the game aspect and party arty was an excellent host. I have told numerous friends about it and would highly recommend attending.

    This was an excellent tour. Guide (Arty?) was very knowledgeable and entertaining. The questions along the way were different from other walking tours and fun. Boston has a lot of history, and it was fun being introduced to. I highly recommend.

    Walking through one of the oldest cities in the United States is unforgettable. It is considered the economic and cultural center of the region and has one of the highest costs of living in the United States. Boston is a center of higher learning. The economy is also based on research, electronics, engineering, finance, technology and biotechnology, in addition to medicine.

    Arty gives a great tour that's very detailed. The extensive research he has done on Boston's history shows, and he presents the information in an easy to understand way. The images on the screen help bring the various stories to life. He is calm, patient and kind. He helped me take some great photos at the historic sites. He also recommended a lovely pizza place for lunch and more places around Boston he thought I'd enjoy visiting. Definitely worth it.
