Great trip but a very long day. Plus the bus broke down as soon as we started and had to wait an hour for a new bus to come and pick us up.

Very good and very professionally guided tour... only one detail: the tour cost per passenger was US$ 165 ($150 + 10% tip) and we were 36 passenger. My calculations based on equipment depreciation, administration costs, fuel, tires, lubricants and spare parts comsumptions, taxes and tolls, operators salary and per-diem as weel as general maintenance cleaning and garage costs, sum for me, around US$95 per passenger, plus a 30% of benefits, yeld to a total of 123.50. To my concern, a price of US125 (tip not included) could be more atractive and a five star rating.

This day trip is definitely worth taking. The tour guide and bus driver were excellent, All parts of Boston visited were very interesting and the guide was very friendly and explained everything in great detail. A long day but well worth it - value for money

Unfortunately the tour was far from what was described in the tour description. Firstly we spent 15 minutes at Harvard and only went to the toilets there. We didnt even see the main buildings or the entrances. We didnt stop at MIT or cambridge, drove past quickly. We asked the tour guide and he said its not included when the tour desciption clearly says 'After lunch, (not included) at Quincy Market and a visit to Boston Common, you'll cross the Charles River to stroll in the squares of the universities of Cambridge, Harvard and MIT, before returning to New York.'
A visit of the universities was supposed to be included and was not. We were very keen to see the universities and was one of the reasons we bought the tour.
Also we did not see site of the famous Tea Party.
Our tour guide wasnt very approachable or accomodating. When we asked about seeing the sites listed on the tour description , we were merely shrugged off.
I am very disappointed and request a complete refund for myself and my 2 friends who booked this tour as we didnt get what we paid for.
service was poor. when i asked the tour guide where the famous Cheers bar was, he had no clue and pointed me to some other bar 'Mccormick' at Quincy market and said thats it. I asked the locals and found the cheers bar.
This is unacceptable to us.
