This is the best way to see the most of Boston in 4 hours. There were 6 in our group - my wife and I with 4 teenagers one being Brazilian. Sam is the man and speaks Portuguese. He gave us details in 2 languages. He picked us up at our hotel and brought us back. Highly Recommended!! Voce é o cara! Muito Obrigado!!

This was a wonderful tour and so worth the money. We saw so much and our guide was so knowledgeable. It would have taken us a whole week to see all he showed us. He knew all types of things we would have never known had we did this our self.

Was okay. Driver was genial but he seemed to be doing trip on auto-pilot. Was not a memorable day. Every other Viator trip we’ve done we’ve had more fun. Disappointing for the price.
