Hit and go back to Boston, going back and forth to New York by train.

We did an amazing tour with guide Ellen! Me and my daughters only had one day in town and she managed to turn our chat-to-chat into a complete experience!! The historical tour was excellent, full of curiosities and explanations, ending with a golden key at Harvard! Ellen demonstrated a lot of knowledge, sympathy and organization, in addition to perfectly optimizing our time. I highly recommend for those who want to know the city in a nice, smart and personalized way! We were delighted with Boston!
