Travel in New England

I had a wonderful experience on the 2-Day New Haven, Rhode Island, and Boston tour from New York, largely thanks to our outstanding tour guide, Qiaoming Lam! From the moment the trip started, Qiaoming set a high standard. He was exceptionally well-groomed and professional in appearance, greeted everyone warmly, and maintained a polite, respectful, and friendly tone throughout the entire journey. Beyond his professionalism, Qiaoming truly elevated the experience: Knowledgeable & Engaging: He provided clear, detailed historical context and fun facts about every stop—from Yale’s campus in New Haven to the historic streets of Boston and Rhode Island's coast. Exceptional Organization: Managing group logistics, timing, and rest stops across a multi-city itinerary can be tough, but he kept everything running smoothly and on schedule without ever making us feel rushed. Attentive & Helpful: He went out of his way to make sure everyone was comfortable, answered every question patiently, and provided great local recommendations for food and free-time exploration. If you are booking with TakeTours, request Qiaoming Lam if you can. He made the entire trip smooth, educational, and memorable!

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 museum turned the historical event into an immersive experience, and I even got to throw tea into the harbor myself. I also liked that the ticket was valid for 12 months, since I visited a few months after buying it.

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.

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.

I had a 4 day trip to Washington DC, Niagara and Boston. Our tour guide Angie is very nice and patient with us. She managed and organized the tour very well. It was an amazing experience overall. I definitely recommend this tour to others. Probably we would have spent some more time in Philadelphia and Boston.

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.

We took tour starting Wednesday (August 5) from Flushing, NY. The tour guide Judy was wonderful and very friendly and took personalized care of everybody. I had fallen a bit sick on the tour, she went to great lengths to make me comfortable, because of which i quickly recovered and went about the tour as planned. She is a great asset and systematic, gives clear-cut instructions, cautions people on what not to do and keeps track of everyone. Our second tour guide on the last day just for New York city Sean was equally wonderful and very skilled at driving in Manhattan roads on crowded summer weekends. Knows the city thoroughly and was very caring with clear instructions. One suggestion I would give is to include central park instead of Saint Patrick church. The church's architecture can be shown from outside.

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.
