This was one of the best tours we have ever had and we do private tours in every new city we visit. Maria was knowledgeable, fun, funny, and engaging. She was a wealth of knowledge and she included small details that made us love the city even more.

We had the pleasure of touring Boston’s Freedom Trail with BJ from Hidden Gem Tours on Saturday, July 25, as a private family of four. From the moment we met him, BJ was incredibly kind, accommodating, and attentive to everyone in our family. He immediately made us feel comfortable, and it truly felt as though we were exploring Boston with a knowledgeable friend. BJ provided an amazing blend of Boston and Revolutionary War history while keeping the tour engaging and enjoyable for all ages. We especially loved the fascinating extra tidbits he shared about Boston and Massachusetts sports, film locations, and movie history. His warmth, knowledge, and storytelling made this one of the highlights of our trip. We highly recommend BJ and would take another one of his tours again in a heartbeat!
