Very disappointed with this day trip to Boston from NYC._br/_ Very disappointing! Our tour guide was from Japan and educated in China. Her English was not great. She had learnt most of her limited American History off of Wikipedia and basically parroted what she had learnt. The tour spent an unnecessary length of time at Service centres on the way and back. Time wasted could have been spent longer in Boston on the Freedom trail. She spent most the time chatting in Cantonese with the two Chinese customers and skimming over important facts. This tour would be better suited if the guide was American born and educated with a good command of American history and culture. Waste of money and time.

The tour itself was great, but one of the guide was less then. Obviously disinterested, she lay down on the seats and slept, ignoring the guests. The other guide was fantastic. So passionate about his job, and about Boston.

Coming from Hawaii with only a sort time in New York we wanted a our that could cover the highlights of New York. We found that with Viator. We are planning another trip and plan to use Viator again for that city. I recommend Viator for their professionalism and organized tours.

Manny was awesome!! Every spot he told us to stop and see or stop and eat that was perfect! Although the bus ride is a bit long all the various stops give you resting time. Would definitely recommend this to the other people!

The organisation is excellent, computers have made the tourist industry so good. It was a long day, and you have to be prepared for a long travel time, a total of 10 hours in this case with a well organised intermissions. The tour guides are excellent, you can't do it with out them. The visit to Boston was good, but not as good as the excursion to Washington.

If you have a small window while in NY to visit Boston, then this is the tour for you. We really got a good but very small taste of Boston on this tour. Be prepared though - it's a long day but worth it. The tour guides were very informative and helpful. On this particular tour, there were 2 tour guides, one for English speaking and the other for Spanish and Portuguese speakers. Happy with this tour and I would recommend it.

YOU DONT HAVE TIME ENOUGH TO GO SHOPPING
Review by: astry w, October 2017
Boston is actually a beautiful city however we were unlucky because it was raining all day long. The tour operator decided to kept going even though it was raining. It will be better if the tour operator could provide rain coat for the tour participant. Because we were all soaking wet.

Long day but great trip, enjoyed Harvard and Boston city.
Review by: Jessica S, September 2017
This tour was a small overview of Boston which was ideal for me as I had never been there before. I enjoyed walking through Harvard University grounds but was disappointed that I did not get to see the Law School however, I understand that you can't see everything. Perhaps a request could be entered and majority wins for what to see on the campus. When completing the Boston Freedom Trail, it was on this part of the tour that I learned about the history of the area. The guide was great, he made sure he was at the locations and time that he said he would be and offered advice about where to buy cheaper items.

Trip was great with 2 guides and 2 drivers
Review by: Marcelo S, August 2017
All things went wrong on this trip. First, we did not go in a bus with wi-fi, but in a uncomfortable mini-bus without this facility. The guide was in a constant hurry, not giving time to enjoy must of the places. The worst came after freedom trial. The guide gave free time and combined an encounter near the market. The place was crowded, and the guide only used a black umbrela to be noticed... I could not find him nor the minibus. I had to buy a train ticket to New York, since I had to rely on the wi-fi and there were none on the minibus. It was my worst experience in an excursion.
