Very nice city tour....

Very nice city tour. The guide is excellent. Knows the stories of Boston well. There were 6 of us in a Lincoln-type vehicle. 4 of them were over 6 feet tall. So not very comfortable for them. The vehicle is not suitable for a tour with 6 people plus the guide. The 2 people sitting in the back see nothing and cannot hear the guide who is the driver in this case. We suggest a microphone and a minivan-style vehicle that is all glass.

Sooo worth it!

Excellent experience! We did a freedom-trail-like tour day before and wanted to see other parts of Boston. Wow. So glad we found this tour and met Stu! He is friendly, clever and offers a sweet ride in comfy Lincoln with drinks and charm. He asked about our prior day’s tour and minimized duplication and catered to our requests. He offered options and even had photos of events we never heard of. Stu also took us places we’d never think of. He’s a master driver and safe. Felt very spoiled and grateful for a fab and full day!
