We really enjoyed the tour and Tony was a great guide! The stops were timed well and we had ample time to enjoy the sites and return to the bus! Very interesting tour!
This was a great tour. It was really informative with a very lively Tony as our tour guide. Thank you
Greet way to see the city highlights. Tour operator was very knowledgeable and a vey good narrator. Very informative tour.
Fantastic trip with fabulous guide cum driver Sam I Am. The day was very well spent enjoying the history of Boston and surroundings
This tour gave us everything we were looking for... a crash course in Boston history and to see as much as we could in one day and it did not disappoint!
Wonderful day tour that was very informative thanks to our wonderful guide Sam I am. We had a great day and would recommend. Sam was funny and very informative of the area.
Our guide was Sam “Sam I am”. He was wonderful and entertained us the whole day. Recommend this tour trip with him.
Amazing number of things to see for such a short time period...especially if you enjoy historyand literature. Driver was interesting and tour was a lot of fun!
We enjoyed the day with driver Sam I Am. He shared a wealth of knowledge with all of us on his tour of Boston an boy was i thankful i wasn't driving on those streets.
Navigating Boston is so much easier in a bus where you don't have to park your own car. The guide tells you much more than you ever learn on your own. Plus the guide takes you to places you would never think of seeing on your own.
Great day. Informative and funny. Took us to Lexington and Concord. Louis May Alcotts house was better than expected.
If you ever get a chance to request SAM I AM (The Man) Tour Guide/Bus Driver JUST DO IT. You will love his unbelievable knowledge of history and dates, not to mention his great humor and patriotism.
Bus looked aged, but had all amenities. Guide Tony excellent, very knowledgeable and great sense of humour. More stops would be better, ie Harvard and Concord.
Our driver/tour guide, Tony, did an excellent job, very knowledgeable, for a change I could actually understand every word he said we truly enjoyed the tour.
We had the fortune to have Sam as our tour guide. His knowledge of history, as well as the surrounding area of Boston, was amazing. Very good job Sam. Highly recommend the full day tour.
Wonderful tour. Our driver and tour host was SamIAm and he was a great driver and tour host. I highly recommend him - he is funny, witty, and very knowledgeable of the history of Boston, Concord, Lexington and the events that happened there. Our tour was about 7.5 hours and my wife and I really enjoyed it. I cannot recommend it enough.
This was a great tour! Very good way to get an overview of he area and its history. Our tour guide Sam was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. Would highly recommend!
We took the 7 hour tour of Boston April 25th. Our guide, Sam I Am, was very knowledgeable about the early history of the area and was very interesting to listen to. We enjoyed the tour and got to see a lot more of the area and learn a lot more of the history than we could have if we tried to do this on our own.
Sam I Am took us on a full day tour of the Boston area, including Harvard’s campus, Cambridge, Lexington and Concord. His knowledge and patriotism were quite inspiring, referring to those who fell at the hands of the Redcoats as heroes. My husband and I had a great time on this tour and we recommend it to others.
As with most see it all in one day tours this one was a lot to see and take in so quickly. "Sam I Am" did a good job providing informative commentary. Good experience!
The entire experience was wonderful. Easy booking on line, friendly information service, knowledgeable tour guide and excellent bus driver. Our tour guide provided us with many interesting facts about Boston and American history . I will highly recommend this tour to my friends and family.
It was a great experience. The driver/guide was very knowledgable and funny at the same time. A great way to see and do a lot in a day in Boston area. Consider taking half-day tour and get dropped at Quincy Market. After lunch except visiting the USS Constitution, there was no other site to visit; just drive around in a bus, If I had known, I would have done that.
Highly recommend this tour but especially if you can have Sam Iam. Sam had so much information on everywhere we went.
Great day with great tour guides. I've been in Boston many times and used to live nearby but this time I feel as if I know the city.
Our guide, “Sam I am,” made this tour one of the best of our trip — very knowledgeable, passionate and informed about history and the area. We spent time in Lexington, Concord, the Charlestown Shipyard and in the vicinity of Faneuil Hall, as well as driving by notable areas. Our guide alerted us that we’d need more time than the tour allowed to feel we’d explored fully and he was right. A good overview overall.
Sam did a wonderful job conducting this tour. He was very knowledgeable of the local history explaining in detail the important events that happened at Lexington and Concord and the Boston area. On top of that he has a wonderful personality. If we come back to Boston we will try get Sam as our tour guide again! Thanks, Sam for a job well done.
Great guide in Sam I Am. He was very interesting and funny. Enjoyed Lexington and Concord. Driving through Boston is kind of a drag, but Sam made it interesting pointing out many landmarks and telling many interesting facts.
