Perfect day tour of Boston from insiders view - Wonderful history lesson about the American independence. Had a great trip learning about several facts of the revolutionary war with our wonderful walking encyclopedia Stewie our guide. He showed us all the important places in Boston. He was very detailed and was gracious enough to drop us off at our hotel which was little bit far from Boston. We have no hesitation whatsoever and recommending this trip, especially with our guide Stewie

Seeing Boston - Cost of lodging and food is over the top. Getting around town by car is horrid. The subway is not interconnected, so that’s difficult.
