You get all your steps in so you won't feel guilty about the delicious things that you eat. It is an easy walk, so don't let the duration scare you off. I 1000% recommend this tour.

Definitely recommend and will be looking for more tours to recommend to visitors or for potential future team outings as well.

We did the donut food tour in Cambridge…read more Our tour guide was a student and very nice, a bit quiet but she shared a good amount of interesting donut history. We lucked out with a very amicable group. We went to 4 different spots. They made a point (a few times) to highlight local businesses which was great. The tour was designed around going from the earliest history of donuts to the future of donuts, plus a side bar on churros. The tour was very short and the only feedback I would give for improvement would be to include a bit more walking between stops, although I get that the shops are all very close together, it would have been good to have a bit of time to digest. And I would recommend bringing water/a drink to wash down all the donuts. The cost was about $48 after fees and we got a good amount of donuts samples plus a Greek coffee. A couple of the businesses also brought some nice treats for the people on our tours whose birthday it was which made it extra special. This was a really nice way to explore some local businesses, eat really delicious donuts, and learn a bit about the history of the donut. Overall I would recommend.

We learned so much about the university, its traditions, history, and campus, and our guide kept the tour interesting and engaging throughout. Visiting Harvard was something we definitely wanted to do while in the Boston area, and we're so glad we chose to experience it through this tour rather than simply walking around the campus on our own. Having the stories and history behind the places we were seeing made the visit so much more meaningful. Informative, entertaining, well-paced, and absolutely worth doing. We left feeling like we had really experienced Harvard rather than just visited it. Highly recommend!

We walked outside and saw people getting off the duck tour boat around the corner. We asked a couple what they thought and they said listen it's pricey but DO IT! We had so much fun- and I could tell by their faces that they did. I've done it once before along time ago with my mom so I didn't really remember too much. And it was at the different location. But my fiancé had never experienced it and since I forgot about it we opted to do it, and I am beyond happy we did it, he wanted to drive to boat and was scared to raise his hand so I raised it for him, he was the last driver that day and he got to drive it pretty far. Needless to say he enjoyed it so much. I'm so glad we did it. We had the Skydiver he was funny and pretty cool. You get a lot of information about Boston, and then wham you go from land to sea- creepy but cool. It was kind of chilly that day, but we enjoyed yourselves. A nice tour for sure!

Captain Kim manned the Duck vehicle except for part of the tour on the Charles River when customer Katia from Texas volunteered to steer up and down the river. Ben, narrator shared info of how the history we learned in school was totally wrong. Who we thought were responsible for the Declaration of Independence were corrupt, spread propaganda about the Boston Massacre which started as an accidental rifle shot went off and to cover up lives were lost in the confusion. They names we thought were great men were actually planners of the Boston Tea Party. He even dispelled the story of Paul Revere riding through the streets shouting the British are coming... that shattered how history was portrayed and actually was a sham. Ben did point out The Union Oyster House where we chose to have lunch at after the duck tour. He also shared tidbits about Leonard Nimoy, where Kennedy used as a permanent address and how Adam Sandler is a regular whenever he visits Boston.

Signing up for the tour was easy enough though I don't really like the idea of paying the (optional) fee via PayPal. For some reason when I did that in New Orleans, it automatically created a new PayPal account for me, based on the email address I used. (Even though it says you don't need a PayPal account...) But this time when I attempted to use the same email to pay, it just wouldn't go through despite resetting the password and what not. Ended up asking hubby to pay with his PayPal. Quite a hassle. Other than that, our guide, Brian, was hilarious and passionate about educating us and I had a great time. We took the tour on Mother's Day and half of the 25 or so customers were from Europe. I think maybe there is a little language barrier as not everyone laughed at Brian's jokes. Plus it was a super windy and cold day and some just wanna go back to bed I guess. The tour was about 1 hour 45 mins. It really didn't walk far, maybe 1-1.5 miles. But I truly enjoyed the story telling. Highly recommend.

My boyfriend and I were in Boston for a couple of nights and since we're always up for a…read moreghost/haunted history tour, we chose to do this. Our guide, Jake, met us a bit early in the appointed spot. He handed us the ghost plushies we bought (a nice souvenir) and the EMF meters we rented, and since there were only four of us on the tour, he began early. I didn't find him very engaging and felt he was going for "jump scares" when telling the stories. Since it was evening, we could only stop outside or across the street from places we visited (except for the Boston Common, where we met). I did like the three extra stories on the extended tour. I recommend not renting the EMF meters, as we weren't really encouraged to use them. It seems Jake forgot about them as soon as he gave them to us. I turned them on a few times, but didn't get much of a result. It is a fairly short tour; we began around 7:45 and were done by 9:15. Wear comfortable shoes. You will be doing quite a bit of walking, including up a hill (that Jake joked was the scariest part of the tour). Whether or not you take the extended tour, you end up in a different location, so be mindful of that. It's not a must-do, but if it works with your schedule, it's a nice way to spend an evening.

We booked it several weeks ahead through Viator which was an easy process. The meeting place is outside next to the first burying grounds on the tour. It would've been good if the gathering place had been at an office or indoor waiting room so people could access a restroom before starting off. The group was very large but was broken up into two smaller groups. The tour was about 90 minutes and included a variety of stops with associated spooky stories. Our guide was friendly and had a fun personality and a lot of local knowledge. We didn't see any ghosts, and apparently the hotel on the tour doesn't allow the tour to go inside anymore. Even if you don't like ghosts, this is a good tour to see famous Boston sights and learn about the city!
