We can not recall the name of our tour guide, she was a lovely German lady who was well read and travel which enabled her to give a good understanding of Boston and the history. While Quincy Markets was busy, it was great to see. There were adequate rest breaks at clean locations. Really enjoyed the opportunity to see Boston in 1 day.

The tour was in English and Italian, so the tour guide Carlo tried to make most of it. But we (the English speaking were the fewer) had to run in order to listen... The bus had no wifi, not in very good condition, the driver was not that careful... Boston was lovely but the tour was very average.

Tour was too hurried. Harvard speed walk, library same. Pilgrims trail too. Quincy Market just about okay and time to eat. Boston tea party rooms, no time to sit and drink tea. Just 15 minutes from coach and back. 6.30am start from NYC return 8.30pm a couple of comfort breaks on the journey. Disappointing

Quincy market , tea company . Everything so rushed and not enough time given only 15 minutes from the coach back to the coach to see the tea company, go to the toilet, get a drink or gift , had to choose between them because of time . The guide gets off coach and begins to walk off while the people still getting off the coach .
