Our hutch had a broken pane of glass that they repaired, but they also dinged one spot of the 2nd bedroom floor very badly. As in, a chunk of wood got pulled out. The coup de grace was trying to move our new and wholely undamaged chest freezer and realizing there was a monster dent in the corner. The chest freezer wasn't even that heavy and and went from the first floor to a second floor walk up, up a straight set of steps. It was cheap--$750 for 7 hours, but we would rather pay more and know that our things are going to make it this time. That was all this breakage, and we didn't even have them move our delicate items!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fine if you are a college student on a budget with a bunch of crappy furniture. As for us, we've moved up in the world and married and now own things like stemware and china, and we need a gentler touch.

He and his team are always prompt, efficient, and very pleasant. No items were damaged and my loft apartment was moved within 3-4 hours. The move was easily arranged via email for a flat (and unbelievable reasonable) rate. Marvin is incredibly reliable and his team is very hardworking. I've recommended him to multiple co-residents and those who have used his services have been thrilled. I will definitely use them again in the future!

She was also more than willing to provide suggestions on where to go for the rest of our stay in Boston. The tour had 6 food stops: - Salumeria Italiana - grocery store where we sampled a little bit of olive oil, cheese, balsamic vinegar, etc. - Artu to taste 3 different types of pasta, family style - Regina's for a slice of pizza - Polcari for Italian ice - Captain Jackson Chocolate shop - sampled a tiny cup of chocolate (probably my least favorite part of the tour) - Maria's for cannolis With the exception of 1 pasta at Artu and some sample meats at Salumeria Italiana, the tour was vegeterian friendly. We had a few 'history' only stops on the tour, such as Old North Church.The nice part is that it covered most of the North end stops on the Freedom trail, in case you also planned on doing that.

The food on this tour was excellent and there was a LOT of it. Last summer I remember feeling satisfied. This summer I was full. We have already made plans to do the Colonial food tour next summer.

We had the pleasure of taking the Boston Food & History Tour with Nabil, and it was such a…read morewonderful experience! Nabil was incredibly accommodating, friendly, and very knowledgeable about Boston's history and food culture. We had a little trouble locating the starting point because the street sign had a different name than what appeared on my map. However, if you find the Registry of Motor Vehicles, you're in the right place! We started at a very interesting bread company, where we got to try some delicious breads and learn about the history of this unique bakery and its bread-making traditions. From there, we stopped at a local deli for a sandwich and then made our way to a pizza shop for a slice of cheese pizza. The pizza was delicious and had such a nostalgic, old-fashioned feel to it. The day we went was extremely hot, but Nabil was very thoughtful and made sure to bring us to shaded areas whenever possible, which we really appreciated. Our last stop was at a wonderful coffee house and pastry shop, where we enjoyed a cappuccino and a cannoli. Both were very good and were the perfect way to finish the tour. Along the way, we visited many historical sites and learned so much about Boston's history. Nabil did a great job bringing everything to life while making the tour fun and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a great combination of delicious food, fascinating history, and a knowledgeable guide. We had a fantastic time and would absolutely recommend Nabil and this tour!

Two members of our party were trying to order non alcoholic drinks which were listed on the menu. The waitress said that they did not serve any of those drinks on the menu. She suggested a sweet non alcoholic drink that she likes to make, so we took her suggestion. She came out with non alcoholic drinks that were good. The problem was that the non alcoholic drinks cost $15 each, which were the same price as both of the alcoholic drinks we ordered. I normally don't complain about price, but this was horrendous.

She's friendly, organized, and very responsive - I set everything up by email but she always said I could call if I wanted. She booked us into fantastic hotels (there are hundreds of hotels in Rome, for example, so wading through thousands of reviews is overwhelming), was on top of every detail, and made the whole planning process stress-free and enjoyable. It's easy to book hotels, cars, etc. online these days, but if you are doing something complicated or not just 'pick days and click here', she's absolutely the one to go to. Highly recommend!
