Boston historic highlights - Our guide Nabil took us to some of Boston’s most historical places and thought us about the rich history in a fun but highly educational way. He was able to provide sufficient background so even someone with very little knowledge of US history was able to understand the significance of the historic events that took place there. Would definitely recommend this tour to other people visiting Boston.

This was such a great way... - This was such a great way to explore and learn more about Boston. I feel like I definitely got a great overview of the city’s history. And Nabil was such a great tour guide! Our group had lots of questions and he happily answered all of them. He was patient, flexible, and made all feel welcome. I’d recommend anyone visiting Boston for the first time to take the tour!

Boston historical & highlights walking tour - I really had amazing time here in Boston and the best part of my trip is joining the historical walking tour. My tour guide named Nabil Shouyahib was very accommodating, engaging and helpful. It’s my first time in Boston and I appreciate that he patiently discuss the Boston highlights and best attractions. He even recommended good places to eat and where to get great deals. As a tourist this what we are looking for. Kudos to your company. I highly recommend this tour. Keep it up!- Jane Lim😊
