We had a great experience with Danny as our tour guide. He was incredibly nice and kind from the moment we met him, which made the whole tour feel comfortable and welcoming. Danny was patient with questions and made sure everyone in the group was engaged and having a good time. Overall, his friendly personality and professionalism really stood out, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a great tour experience.

Had an amazing trip with Royal City Tours. Highly recommended. Milly and Daniel were fantastic. Milly’s knowledge sharing throughout the tour, especially on the history of Harvard University and Boston, made the whole experience so engaging. It was a long walk, but absolutely worth it. Fun fact: I technically went to Harvard… just never graduated. I touched the shoes, though. The Boston & Maine clam chowder was a really good lunch choice — definitely my go-to if I come back again. Thank you!

The guide felt like she was rushing us, hence we didnt get enough time to see the places. I don't even take too much photos of myself but still felt like she was on a hurry. Another thing is I didnt know tipping culture is required, I thought it was just appreciated. Our guide asked for it.
