Very informative it was all understanding of the area in the history of everything that was involved during the 17th and 18th century
Thanks for your review! We're happy to hear you had an informative tour of Boston and Cambridge with Rocky!
This tour definitely exceeded my expectations! We had 3 generations of travelers from ages 7-79 and everyone really enjoyed it. It was all of our our first time in Boston and this was a great activity for our first day. We had BJ as our guide and he communicated with me in advance of the tour and picked us up timely at our hotel. Our first stop was an Italian coffee/pastry shop in the North End. There we talked through a loose plan for the day, but the best thing about this tour was that BJ was totally flexible… There were certain places we wanted to spend more time, and BJ accommodated us, provided interesting commentary and even helping entertain the kids when one was bored and the rest of us were taking a little longer at a site/exhibit. His vehicle was clean, fully functioning and he had parking passes at certain key places allowing us to pack a lot into one day. I would definitely recommend this tour and BJ to anyone visiting Boston! We will talk about this day and the places we visited for years to come. Already want to plan a return trip! :)
What a wonderful review! Thank you so much for sharing how great your day with BJ was. He truly leaves an impression on every guest, and we are thrilled to hear that he and we exceeded your expectations! Please look us up again when you return!
Great overview of Boston. Covered all the major sites. Tour guide was great. Very informative and accommodating. Loved it!
We're thrilled you enjoyed your tour with Rocky and found it informative and accommodating. Thank you for sharing your experience!
Had a great time travelling with BJ He had in depth knowledge about the History of Boston & all details about MIT We had a bucket list itinerary of visiting MIT & Harvard campus Knowing these two world famous universities & we bow before these universities for their outstanding careers & bright students they produce A boon to the mankind
We're happy BJ was able to give you extra time at the universities and ensure you really had a 5-star day! Thank you for your review!
The whole experience was amazing-from setting up the trip, to recieving communications on timing and our driver 24 hours before, to the actual tour. Our tour guide, Jenny, was AMAZING. She knew exactly how to keep both adults and our teens interested. She was a great story teller, and an even better Boston driver. She was warm, funny, and smart. She listened. I highly recommend this tour! It was a quick-hit tour, perfect for our family just traveling to the NE for the week. We didn’t know where to start, where to park, the stories-Jenny took care of it all.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience! We're thrilled Jenny made your family's Boston trip memorable and enjoyable. We greatly appreciate your recommendation!
This was a great way to maximize our one day in Boston. Rocky knew so much about the history everywhere we went. We even got to add a few sites we really wanted to see to the tour.
We're thrilled you enjoyed your tour of Boston & Cambridge and appreciated Rocky's expertise! Thank you for sharing your experience.
Amazing tour with a knowledgeable and fun guide (Bobby). Good tempo, speaks clearly humorous and catches your attention. Highly recommended!!!
Tack för din recension! Vi är glada att du uppskattade din rundtur på MIT och Harvard med Bobby D!
Our tour guide Alex was amazing! A wealth of information so knowledgeable, kind, informative, helpful and accommodating. On a super cold and wet day she helped us make the best of it and taught us so much. Highly recommend.
Thanks for your review! We're glad to hear Alexandria was such a wonderful guide on your Boston & Cambridge tour!
Alexandria was an amazing tour guide. She was a wealth of information with endless history knowledge and so very informative and helpful. On a super cold and wet day she still made it a most enjoyable day; patient, kind, helpful, thoughtful and she taught us so much. Clearly she loves this city and sharing her appreciation for it with others. We learned so much from her. She even kept my teenager engaged. Couldn’t recommend her more. Thank you!
Thank you, Sayareh, for your wonderful feedback. We're thrilled to hear that Alexandria provided such an engaging and insightful experience despite the challenging weather!
We had such an amazing time on our private tour in Boston! Everything was smooth, comfortable, and well-organized from start to finish. Our tour guide, Jenny, was incredible, very knowledgeable with a great sense of humor, which made the experience both informative and fun. If you love history, she is absolutely perfect and really brings the city to life. She was also a great driver, we felt safe the entire time and didn’t feel sick at all, which made the ride even more enjoyable. A thoughtful touch we really appreciated was that she had hand warmers ready and already opened when we met her. Such a small detail, but it made a big difference, especially in the cold! The van itself was a huge plus, clean and equipped with free WiFi, water, and visuals so you can follow along with the itinerary. One of the best parts was the flexibility, you can request stops anytime for photo opportunities, which made the tour feel very personal. Definitely take photos during stops, especially if you don’t plan on coming back to those areas! Highly recommended!
Thank you so much, Sandy, for sharing your wonderful experience! We're thrilled to hear that the tour exceeded your expectations and that Jenny made it both informative and enjoyable. We hope to welcome you again in the future!
