We can not recall the name of our tour guide, she was a lovely German lady who was well read and travel which enabled her to give a good understanding of Boston and the history. While Quincy Markets was busy, it was great to see. There were adequate rest breaks at clean locations. Really enjoyed ...

Okai and team were absolutely brilliant throughout a long day. The commentary and tour around Boston was informative and pleasant. But for the unfortunate traffic delays, which made for an uncomfortable journey, this would be a 5 star rating!
