This was our introduction to Boston. The guide set the bar really high. He was personable and smaht. I learned so much on this tour. My only frustration was getting started- email gave an address of where to meet with the description of the business. They did not match up. I had a hard time finding the right place. Once I got started the tour was wonderful. The guide asked what our interests- careers were around make sure we got information we were interested in. Good recommendation for a lunch spot. Definitely worth the time and money.

March 30, 2024 3PM.... My wife's laptop battery was questionable. I first phoned the store, spoke to one of the two men there and he decided for me to come down with the laptop. While there he first checked the battery icon and it WAS charging. We waited about 10 minutes to make sure it was and I left for home. I felt very comfortable with their plan to physically check the battery compartment as the laptop fell onto the floor from a small coffee table and possibly loosened something. This wasn't 'the case as the laptop was working and the battery was charging. I was very impressed with his taking care of a problem that I really didn't have. They do replace laptop batteries. I was given a price complete with the battery and installation and the time it would take to replace it. Of course I didn't have to do any of that and when we realized the battery was charging, there was no charge for his efforts. I would certainly return here if a problem arises in the future. They are trustworthy.
