Most tours begin downtown, where the harbor and Quincy Market sit beside the old wharves and a cruise heads out across Boston Harbor. Across the Charles River, Cambridge holds Harvard and MIT, two of the country's best-known universities.




Collin and Shawn both were extraordinary guides.only problem we faced was sitting in three seats van from Boston to Newyork.it didn’t have enough space for leg room.
Our guide dressed as a 17th-century gravedigger, which really set the mood. We visited two old burial grounds and heard tales about the Boston Strangler. It was fun and lighthearted rather than truly scary.
The ticket let me hop on and off all day across three loops. The green loop took about two hours for a full circle, while the orange and blue ones were around 30 minutes each. It was a convenient way to cover the North End and Back Bay.
Before the tour, I received a text messages confirming the guests and instruction where to meet and get picked up. Which is needed for the first time customer joining the group tour. Our tour guide Jason is very exceptional. He is knowledgeable, very patients and took care of the whole group during the tour. The driver of the bus forgot his name is also helpful to the group. Jason had provided me and my friend Uber ride since he cannot drop us off to our last stop. The tour itself is a dream come true specially the Niagara Falls experience. 6 days trip is must go tour. (Tour date experience October 3-8, 2026)
The last day was mostly on the bus, and I glanced at the scenery passing through Albany. The ride back felt more tiring than the way there, probably because I was already worn out from the days before.
Five days covered Niagara Falls, Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal—it was a packed schedule, but we hit the main sights in each city. I especially liked Parliament Hill in Ottawa; the architecture is impressive.
The walk connected Boston's filming spots, from The Town chase scene to the L Street Tavern in Good Will Hunting. Our guide shared behind-the-scenes details, which I enjoyed. The tour price covered the guide and vehicle, though meals and drinks were on us.
Overall the tour was a wonderful experience, very well organised and truly enjoyable! Everything went smoothly and I really enjoyed exploring the different places. A special thanks to our tour guide Mr. Alan, who was incredibly kind,helpful, friendly, and professional throughout the trip. He made sure everyone felt comfortable and helped make the whole experience even more memorable. It was a pleasure to have him as our guide. Thank youAlan, for your excellent service and for making this tour so special! I would definitely love to join another tour with you as our guide in the future. Highly recommended! 😊👏
Six days covered the major cities in the eastern US and Canada—a packed but well-organized route. My favorite part was the Niagara Falls night tour; the illuminated water was spectacular. It was a mandatory add-on at $45 per adult, but I felt it was worth it.
It was meticulously planned, we visited all the places but the we need to make sure we are on time else the driver and guide gets upset. They club with many others. We had a 5 day package, few had 3 and others 4, so it was like everyday you meet someone new and based on people the vehicle also gets changed. Hotels were all decent, they stopped at plaza's where there are multiple options to eat. Amount was as shown, nothing extra. I would recommend but request to make sure to keep up the time, and would be great if the vehicles are more better.
