Tour was great had a mixture of history drinks and apps .. tour guide was very friendly and pleasant . You can tell he enjoyed his job and was doing it for his clients and love of city . He was not pushy . I have been on many tours and they will always mention about tips … Tour guide did not mention tips at all .. I of course left a good tip but it’s nice not to have it pushed on you

Martin was such an awesome tour guide. He knew everything from history to pop culture and was fun to get to know. We had the perfect mix of waking, eating, drinking and sight seeing. I would recommend this tour to anyone hoping to see and taste Boston! The best!

Martin was amazing. We had a good group of 6 and it was so much fun and interesting. Very memorable experience hitting the two historic pubs and enjoying drinks and apps. Pace was perfect and it just felt like traveling the city with a group of good friends; enjoying the sights and sounds. We forgot about taking the ferry over to Charlestown. So glad we did as that helped us plan the rest of our stay.
