Loved this tour! I recommend this…read more I'm a local Boston history buff who decided to finally take a guided tour around the city on Aug. 1. Rob led our group and he did a great job. He greeted all members of our smallish group warmly as they arrived. Once underway, his friendly narration was engaging and informed. His answers to questions demonstrated the depth of his knowledge - funnily enough, many seemingly innocent questions from a young boy in our group led to the most intriguing stories. Rob did a great job in bringing the past history alive for us over our 3+ hour walking tour.

If you're a fan of FLW, you definitely need to do the tour from the Currier Museum where you can…read morenow visit both the Zimmerman House and this one, a more recent addition to their collection. It could hardly be more different from the Zimmerman, being built mostly from pre-cast concrete bricks. It's one of Wright's 'Usonian Automatic' homes; this means that he sent you the plans and measurements and you had to build it yourself after casting all the concrete bricks yourself from a variety of moulds. Not an easy task even for the most dedicated home builder, and not surprising that only seven of them were ever built. Much of the original furniture is no longer present, but it still has the original kitchen and stove/oven. The long bench seat under the windows has been partially restored and the Currier have been adding other bits of furniture that you can actually sit on while you listen to the docent's talk. It's unmistakably a Wright house, but with all the concrete blocks and glass it felt rather cold and industrial. I don't think I would have liked to live in it, unlike the Zimmerman house just along the road. Book the tour from the Currier Museum of Art, it's well worth it to see both of these Wright creations.

He regaled us with 38 years of experiences as we made our way to and from the cliffs of Aquinnah (Go. It's beautiful and reminds us of the majesty of nature.) We asked all our questions, got every question answered and laughed and sang with Craig on the way back. The last time I was here, I did the African American history group tour, and it was pretty good. This tour was better because it was a private tour. I would recommend Craig's private tour for anyone.

Coming from California, I had thought we were going to go duck watching. Another thought we were…read morepaddling around in a kind of swan boat. Turns out the Duck Tours were tours in semi-aquatic buses that mix history, jokes, and sightseeing. We also got to go into the water and folks took turns driving the duck boat. What was delightful about our tour was our captain who entertained us with magic tricks, punny jokes, dad jokes, and history. We quacked at passerbys, other duck tours, recent graduates, kids in hi-vis vests. He pointed out the marines organized in a park with the Osprey and other planes. I left my knowledge of American history in elementary school, so everything was super fascinating to me. I thought my honey would enjoy this being a historian and all but he didn't care for the jokes, which I thought were the best part. Oh well. Worth a tour when you're in the Boston area!

NEW ENGLAND AQUARIUM DEPARTURE LOCATION…read more The customer service is absolutely terrible. I would not recommend it whatsoever, especially not for a school trip. I went here for my school trip to Boston and my group got treated horribly. The driver was kind and professional, but the assistant's behavior and the overall organization were very poor. When we boarded the bus, we were told we could sit wherever we wanted, so we took the first four seats on both sides. No one on the bus complained. When the assistant got on, she said we had to sit in assigned seats. One older man politely asked where it said that, since there was nothing mentioned about assigned seating. The assistant responded that it was an assigned system, so there were assigned seats. The man checked his receipt, and the assistant mocked him and gave him a nasty look. Everyone was annoyed that they had to change seats. A couple minutes later, she told my school that we had too many people on the bus. One of our chaperone said, "You said 14 students." She replied, "No, I said 14 of you." My chaperone responded, "Oh, that must have been a misunderstanding." After that, the assistant kept blaming us and did not apologize at all, continuing to give nasty looks and a rude attitude. She also said that if we had a problem, we could report her to her manager (she was counting us as we boarded). Then two people went to a different bus. After that, she said we still had one extra person, so someone had to get off and go on another bus. When she said it again, our only chaperone said, "I don't know what you want us to do. You told us 14 students, and now you're kicking most of us off. Do you want me to get off?" The assistant gave her a nasty look and said a chaperone needed to stay on the bus. So my chaperone had enough and said, "Okay we're all getting off, and I will be reporting you." The assistant mocked her and said, "Go right ahead." As we were getting off the bus, she continued giving us nasty looks. Once we were off, the assistant started arguing with my chaperone, and I said, "No, you're just rude." She was being much ruder than what im saying but--I have never experienced such bad customer service. My group walked away, and the assistant stood with her coworkers, all of them giving us nasty looks. On the other two buses from my school, their assistants were calling us rude and disruptive. Our chaperone ended up paying out of pocket for all 14 of us to go to the New England Aquarium. If you are planning a class trip, I would 100% recommend the aquarium over the duck tour. The staff at the aquarium were very kind, and it was really fun, while 99% of the people (in my school) who went on the duck tour said it was boring and most people slept.

I'm so glad we did because it was a fun and interesting experience. The actors are in character and passionate about their roles which makes it fun. They also ask people from the audience to have a speaking part which makes it interactive. It was neat going on one of the ships and kids threw tea over the side. It was interesting to hear the story of the day, what happened to some of the people who participated and how they kept the story alive for so long. Loved seeing one of the crates that was thrown over and how families kept it and some tea safe. Everyone in our group had fun and enjoyed the experience. It's definitely worth it. Abby's Tea Room at the end is nice too.

Who could say no to that? It starts out in a meeting room where everyone is given a profile card of a real person from the period. My wife even got a speaking role. Then thy take you out to one of the two ships where you get to tour the ship as well as throw tea boxes and loose leaf tea overboard. You then move inside again for some video presentations as well as a chance to see actual artifacts from the tea party like an actual tea crate. Had no idea that even still existed. And you finish off with a gift ship and cafe with some darn good cookies. Overall a fun and educational experience.
