Very good tour. Jay was a great tour guide. Would recommend to get a good overview of the city of Boston
We walked up and asked if there was availability, we had gone on this a few times before… they said sure and RICK was our guide … he asked what we would like and spent time listening… he gave us a tour specifically for our needs … and it was wonderful… he explained the history and local fare … he was attentive to safety and that we hit all the spots we asked for … we even got to see the elephant art exhibit which was special… I can’t wait to come back and enjoy this excursion again when we come back … well with the value and each time we have done this we experienced different parts of Boston… I recommend this trip highly and it is a way to get your bearings of Boston if you’re gonna spend a few days walking …
What a great way to see all of Boston! Our guides, Jay and Peter I think were awesome in 90 degree heat! They made sure we were always safe and explained everthing we rode past. Such a great way to spend two hours and see hits and bits of Boston and the surrounding areas. Thank you!
We saw so much of Boston in 2 hours. Our guide Jay kept us safe even with summer traffic, and was knowledgeable and funny.
Bring a water bottle, wear comfortable shoes and have fun. Jay was a great captain thanks Captain Jay
Rick was an excellent tour guide! He has been living in the city & suburbs for 40 years. He talked about the history of Boston & how the Revolutionary War started. We made some stops & he took pictures. I was happy to finally visit the “Cheers” bar! I highly recommend this Segway tour with Rick as a guide!
Excellent tour. Our guide Rick was fantastic.
Rick was awesome. He took us through several Boston sights and provided historical and local background. We saw so much more than we could ever see walking. We met various staff at Boston Segway who gave us insight on the best spots to eat and see in Boston. We loved our tour, and highly recommend a Boston Segway tour! Ask for Rick!
Jay was fantastic and very informative. Highly recommended tour. We have done several Segway tours and this was at the top of our list.
Good fun and we covered a lot of ground on the tour however timing overran by about 45 minutes meaning we were late for our next booking. They make a big deal about being punctual on the booking and i feel they should also stick to timings or at least ask the group if it matters if we are late back.
