Perfect day tour of Boston from insiders view - Wonderful history lesson about the American independence. Had a great trip learning about several facts of the revolutionary war with our wonderful walking encyclopedia Stewie our guide. He showed us all the important places in Boston. He was very detailed and was gracious enough to drop us off at our hotel which was little bit far from Boston. We have no hesitation whatsoever and recommending this trip, especially with our guide Stewie

Spilling the tea in Boston - Our guide was Stu. We had such a good time. Saw lots of sites, and enjoyed many, many interesting and funny facts and stories. We saw a tee shirt with the slogan “spilling the tea since 1773” and we told Stu that it should be his moniker. Highly recommend

Seeing Boston - Cost of lodging and food is over the top. Getting around town by car is horrid. The subway is not interconnected, so that’s difficult.
