Average Rating: 5 stars out of 5
Sam was great!

My husband and I decided to play tourists in our own city for a day. We loved that each place we were taken to was novel to us. Perfect amount of history, food and drinks for a well rounded evening. Sam was personable and informative. Strongly recommend.

Boston Pizza and Pub tour

I enjoyed the tour of Boston. Jim, our guide, did an excellent job sharing his knowledge of the history of the city. The pizza was very good and the pubs were old and full of charm. I have already recommended this tour to our friends. Jim also shared some of the other small family owned businesses (bakeries,specialty markets etc.) I am looking forward to going back to visit a few of the markets and one of the bakeries.
