Great Tour!

We had a great time with Tony. Would highly recommend. We learned so much about the city. Enjoyed the Boston Tea Party at Green Dragons Tavern!

A disappointing miss

I’m from out of town, and I’m unfamiliar with the area, so when I clicked on the “meeting and pick up” section, the link to Faneuil Hall brought me only to the ZIP Code 02109. Thankfully, the Uber driver knew where the area was, but just dropped me in the plaza. I had to look at the reservation again, go to the itinerary, which is when I saw that the meeting point was at the Sam Adams statue. I made two attempts to contact the Guide through the app while this was going on. By the time I arrived, I was 10 minutes late and no one was there. No attempts were made to contact me. After my third message, when I asked if I could just meet up with the group wherever they were, I still received no response. At that point, I sent yet another message asking for a refund. That message got a fairly prompt response saying that they don’t give refunds to late customers. As a previously explained, the reason that I was late is because the link provided took me to a general ZIP Code, with the plaza name above it. While I eventually did find the meeting spot listed in the itinerary, it was a lot of looking that I had to do. I cannot recommend this tour because I didn’t get to go on the tour. I think that if the company would list the meeting spot a little more clearly, such as in the section that is titled “ meeting and pick up” (as opposed to the name of a plaza and a link that takes you only to a ZIP Code in the middle of nowhere), as well as respond to messages sent from their customers in a timely manner- or even more proactively reach out to their customers when they are absent, to see if anything might be the matter or to provide assistance in finding the tour, it might make make the process more smooth for future customers.

Absolutely wonderful tour

Tony was super knowledgeable, warm, and a joy to be around. I had no trouble hanging onto his every word, as all of the info was interesting and relevant. 10/10

Fun Mix of History & Beer

Great mix of general history and beer/brewery history. Worth the admission fee and then some. Would have loved to hit a couple more pubs but time didn’t permit.
