It was great being around the town. According to my personal experience of touring Boston, I think we could have covered a lot of other destinations on our tour as well, since we had a lot of time to do so. Additionally, the bus trip was amazing, they treated us quite decently. Great experience!
Lee shu
Boston is the best city for vacations, plus the great services of the trip management had made my experience so remarkable. I would never forget the boating experience at harbor, we enjoyed the great views. It is a wonderful one-day trip! Thanks a lot.
Lyle
It is my first time to post a review anywhere, I went with my family, this visit was not that hustle, and the driver halted like clockwork to give client a chance to take a rest. So pleasant, I took a ton of pictures, and my family all had a ton of fun.
William Nguyen
This was amazing! My friend and I took the Boston tour and had a great time. We stopped for photos and learned so much about this city in such a short time. Completely worth it! Thanks GoldenBusTours.
Jasper Menkens
The guide met us at the pickup location and said they could take us early. We had a wonderful time and He told us really fun and historical facts about the city. He was also able to answer random questions we had about the city in general.
Mingmei Hê
We had a great time and hope to do it again! I was a little concerned when our Goldenbustours arrived ten minutes late but it was understandable because there was quite a bit of traffic. We told our driver that we were getting a little bit worried because he was late.
