I absolutely loved this tour! It really made my trip to Boston as I got feel for the city in many areas - social, historical and food wise! Bob was a fantastic host, with a great personality and deep historical knowledge of the city. It felt more like he was a friend showing us around rather than someone doing his job. He really went above and beyond to help us all enjoy, and in turn we all got on famously well. Would recommend this tour as its been so well curated, and the food is fantastic! Also touches on all the key sites in Boston throughout the tour. 100% would recommend :) Thank you again Bob, it was truly memorable - Debbie
