Amazing day trip to Boston — well-organized, comfy, and packed with top sights. Totally worth it - Super organized, comfortable ride, and we saw all the top spots — Harvard, MIT, Quincy Market, Freedom Trail. Perfect balance of sightseeing and free time. A long day but absolutely worth it! Highly recommend.

An Insightful and Enriching Tour Experience - This tour was truly eye-opening and gave me a much clearer understanding of American history—something I hadn’t expected at all. Sharon, our tour guide, was absolutely outstanding. Her deep knowledge and passion for U.S. history brought every story to life and helped me see the country’s past from an entirely new perspective. I walked away with a genuine appreciation for how America’s history has shaped its present
