Great option for someone who wants the flexibility in the cold weather.

Published on Jan, 2025

We did a tour in Salem and a ghost tour in Boston on our last day we wanted to do a tour nd have the flexibility to start and stop with a break for lunch in case the weather was bad and it was too cold. This was perfect. We enjoyed walking the city at our own pace and listening to the tour. Very informative and fun.

Excellent

Lots of great info. The ability to start and stop is great. We went in an enjoyed many of the sites, including a meal at Union Oyster and a drink at the Green Dragon. We spent the day walking around Boston!

Great value! Awesome way to spend a day with your family.

I felt the tour was a very good value and way better than I expected. It was nice to stop and have a snack or a lunch break. It’s also a super long tour. I didn’t know I was going to Bunker Hill. It was a bonus.

Great tour!

The tour was easy to download and use. And so informative! What a great way to not spend a lot of money, but still learn a lot about Boston! And at your own pace. I highly recommend it!
