The Total Boston Experience is a great way to see Boston and the surrounding area. It was very comprehensive and the tour guide was very knowledgeable. A lot of places were closed in November as it's not tourist season, but that was not the fault of this tour. We still got to see plenty. Would definitely recommend this trip!

Out trip was great. We saw more than we could have on our own. The only problem was that the bus did not pick up at our hotel. We called for directions and was told the cross streets but the name of the tour was not Viator it was Greyline. We found this out by going to all the tour group the day before. I did not want to use a afternoon doing this.

Liked this tour although it takes the whole day. One day is really not enough for Boston. Lot of history to hear. Good guides. Recommend at least 3 days for this great city. However got an idea in this one day from the tour and recommend this way of exploring the city.

Like the bus tour part. Guy knew history and very easy to listen too. Trolley too bumpy and guide's voice was grading, so we got off. Didn't do the cruise, as we were doing that the next day. A bit too much to do in one day.

I have gone on Viator tours all over the world and this is the first time I didn't think it was terrific. The itinerary was fine, but I was disappointed in my tour guide. She was an older lady and kept mixing up her dates...jumping around and confusing everyone. I don't think its necessary to go onto the Harvard campus. Rather than stopping there, stop in Concord. The trolleys and the rest of the tour was great.
