Boston in a Day

Tour guide Stew was very engaging and had lots of information and stories about Boston and surrounding area. Based on our pick up time he took us directly to the bay cruise which was very informative and enjoyable. After that we took a tour of the USS Constitution and then walked around Harvard. After we dropped off the second couple Stew asked us where we wanted to go. We dropped by Cheers then wrapped up at the North end where we were dropped off and had an excellent dinner at Catch of the Day. Bunker Hill was also offered but we chose Cheers.
Comprehensive & enjoyable tour.

Great tour of Boston historical sights. Our driver/guide, Bob, was a hoot and told us all sorts of nuggets about Boston - old & new. The tour says 3 hours but that’s the city only, then there’s a nice, hour-long bay cruise at the end.
Bob communicated well for pickup, too. We felt we got our $ worth on this tour!
No words….

My mom took my sister and I on cruise and it ended in Boston. We weren’t sure where to go or what to do so we booked this tour. Bob was amazing, very knowledgeable of Boston and it’s history, also very funny. He went out of his way, after the tour, to take us to Urgent Care, and drop us off, my mom had tripped. I would strongly recommend this tour and Bob the tour guide to anyone visiting Boston.

I ended up being the only one in a tour group that day. I felt a little awkward, just because I have never been on a private tour. However, Stuart did a great job with the tour! He knew a lot about Boston and gave me some local tips. Super informative! The van was nice and would comfortably fit about 5-7 people, possibly. Definitely recommend this tour!
Excellent historic tour of Boston with an excellent tour guide, Bob.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience with the excellent tour guide, Bob. He is extremely knowledgeable and very personable as well. He took us to all of the sites as advertised and then some. The fact that our group was very small made it all the more enjoyable. I would highly recommend this tour and I would highly recommend Bob as your tour guide for the future.
Great tour loved Bob

Worst tour ever!!!

Had a terrible time . It was pouring rain and our tour guide was late . We were soaked by the time he finally picked us up and we were dropping off people from the previous tour so we were really late getting our tour started we ran late entire tour. We were speeding thru tour we didn’t even slow down enough to see anything we were so running late and did not get to board the us constitution and we hurried to boat cruise and miss cruise. This tour was not even worth $10. I want my money back . I have been in several tours and this was the worst by far. The tour guide was nice but I spent almost $300 for nothing. I am so disappointed and so were the other passengers . They were all picked up late and are also going to request their money back!
Guide 45 minutes late. Missed body fir cruise. Took us to Harvard. No tour. Let us out at souvenirs shop for half hour.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
