Amazing day in Boston
Megan M,Jun 11, 2026
- Review from Viator
5.00The whole experience was amazing-from setting up the trip, to recieving communications on timing and our driver 24 hours before, to the actual tour. Our tour guide, Jenny, was AMAZING. She knew exactly how to keep both adults and our teens interested. She was a great story teller, and an even better Boston driver. She was warm, funny, and smart. She listened. I highly recommend this tour! It was a quick-hit tour, perfect for our family just traveling to the NE for the week. We didn’t know where to start, where to park, the stories-Jenny took care of it all.

Boston Cambridge in the cold

5.00Alexandria was an amazing tour guide. She was a wealth of information with endless history knowledge and so very informative and helpful. On a super cold and wet day she still made it a most enjoyable day; patient, kind, helpful, thoughtful and she taught us so much. Clearly she loves this city and sharing her appreciation for it with others. We learned so much from her. She even kept my teenager engaged. Couldn’t recommend her more. Thank you!
Amazing Private Tour Experience in Boston!

5.00We had such an amazing time on our private tour in Boston! Everything was smooth, comfortable, and well-organized from start to finish. Our tour guide, Jenny, was incredible, very knowledgeable with a great sense of humor, which made the experience both informative and fun. If you love history, she is absolutely perfect and really brings the city to life. She was also a great driver, we felt safe the entire time and didn’t feel sick at all, which made the ride even more enjoyable. A thoughtful touch we really appreciated was that she had hand warmers ready and already opened when we met her. Such a small detail, but it made a big difference, especially in the cold! The van itself was a huge plus, clean and equipped with free WiFi, water, and visuals so you can follow along with the itinerary. One of the best parts was the flexibility, you can request stops anytime for photo opportunities, which made the tour feel very personal. Definitely take photos during stops, especially if you don’t plan on coming back to those areas! Highly recommended!
Mark is our favorite!!

5.00We arrived by cruise ship. Our guide was Mark. He did an excellent job communicating before and after we arrived. Meeting him was easy which is not always the case in a cruise ship port. We opted for a private tour as we usually do. I had been in Boston before buy my wife had not so I wanted her to get a good overview of the city and surround areas. The tour Boston Hidden Gems and Mark put together was perfect. We visited Caffe Vittoria, the North End's oldest continually cafe to enjoy a beverage and a pastry and see this amazing old cafe. We then did a walking tour of tne North End that included learning a lot of the history and importance of the neighborhood. We received a history lesson while seeing the places that made history. We visited the Old North Church which has a special place in our nation's history. We also visited the USS Constitution (Old Ironside), the Bunker Hill Monument, Boston Common, the fascinating neighborhoods of Acorn St/Beacon Hill. There was more but you get the idea. Boston Hidden Gems will put together an amazing tour and you will leave Boston knowing far more than you did when you arrived. That wasn't all but what was important to us is the Mark put what we were seeing into perspective. Thank you, Mark.
