Excellent tour. Lurch, our driver and tour guide, was knowledgeable and entertaining. The tour was a good way to lear about Boston.

Bear was fantastic! Funny and engaging! He taught us how to speak like a Bostonian. I can’t believe the tour was an hour and 50 minutes! It really only felt like a half hour! We also had Lurch later in the day, but only for one stop. We loved him so much we wanted to go on another tour just to hear his style!

It was a very enjoyable and informative experience. Hambone was a great tour guide. It was my first hop on hop off tour and I’ll definitely do it again.
