Michael, tour guide 5 stars! - Our tour guide Michael made the day so incredibly special with his passion, enthusiasm and impressive wealth of knowledge! I was completely immersed in his story telling, learned so much and simply enjoyed every minute of the tour. I would HIGHLY recommend booking any tour with Michael to truly learn and understand New York. Brilliant!!!

Great guided tour and scenic drive - Really enjoyed the tour. Our guide kept us updated of break times and journey times so we knew what to expect. We were shown around Harvard and Boston which I enjoyed because I got lots of interesting information. We got free time to roam around the library and shopping areas which was nice as there was lots to see. I would recommend this tour as a break from the chaos of nyc because it was a relief to be shown around places and not have to think about my own itinerary. Also a great way to see more of the country by looking out of the bus window. Thank you!

Travel efficiently from New York to Boston - He guided us smoothly from the assembly to the end and acted efficiently. The guide explained a lot, so it was good to know about the history of the place. It was colder in Boston than in New York, so it's a good idea to be prepared for the cold. The ears and face will also get very cold, so I recommend covering your face with a hood or scarf. The bus operation was smooth and comfortable even during long journeys.
