Very good guide, plenty of stories and great information on the history of the city. We saw the following sites: Place where the Boston Massacre occurred, old state house, old City Hall, Granary Burial, Old North Church, Boston Common and many others. Definitely a tour company that you should use.

4 of us had a walking tour with Alan last week and it was very underwhelming. It felt like it was…read moremore social interaction for Alan (he was talking more about where we are from, what do we do for living, what areas of Boston do we live in, a lot of personal information than we did not want to share with the stranger that we will never meet again) and VERY little information on the actual tour subject. We all live in the area and turned out knew more than Alan re history (and none of us possessed a great knowledge to begin with, trust me) and subject. It was strange to hear Alan asking us : " You don't know who Paul Revere was so let me tell you" or going into great details on such a trite subjects like explaining us what "brownstone" building was (we were a group of mature women, but felt like on a kindergarten tour !). I don't want to be rude as Alan is a mature kind gentleman in his late 80's, but this was a waste of our money and time. Point for the future - try to inquire who your guide is beforehand if it's possible.

This was hands down one of the best experiences we've done in Boston…read more We had someone in our party with mobility issues but we wanted her to see the city! We started in South End and went around South End, then the Fens, Back Bay and Newbury, then to Boston Common, Downtown, Chinatown and then ended in North End for dinner. What fun. Lively drivers who know so much about the area. They tailored the itinerary as we asked. Will do again!

I had vacationed in Cape Cod and had a few days to spend in Boston before returning home. My last…read morefull morning was spent with Brush Hill on a trip to Cambridge, Lexington and Concord. I give three stars because my indifference is in no part due to any false advertisement or guide incompetence (he told us to refer to him as Richard if we were leaving a less than satisfactory review) as Richard did as he was instructed. However, I felt this tour was a waste of time and money. The incentive is there if you're elderly or can't navigate around foreign cities but paying near $60 to listen to a man drive around and make witty comments was not what I envisioned. However, Richard was accommodating and allowed us to disembark in Lexington outside the battle greens and again near the spot Paul Revere was captured on his midnight ride. We also stopped at Minute Men National Park where The Old Manse and Old North Bridge sit (Bostonians like to add the word 'Old' to all their landmarks). Moral of the story? Do not expect anything more than transportation for two stops. I repeat do not. If you'd like to learn about Cambridge, Concord or Lexington THIS IS NOT THE TOUR FOR YOU. This is an American Revolution tour and by tour I mean bus that spits Wikipedia notes at you that any elementary student would know. I'll be back so that I can ride the commuter train to Concord and explore the rich history of the area on my own time. Transcendentalism anyone?

Healey Bus provided school bus transportation for my recent wedding and they were fantastic! After…read morespeaking with many charter bus companies, rates were just too high for what we needed. Healey Bus came through with a competitive rate and excellent service. I spoke with the owner once and with the dispatcher to secure our date and itinerary. Both were very polite and helpful. The bus service was one thing over which I had no control once the wedding day began, but not to worry. The bus was clean and tidy as promised. The driver arrived perfectly on time and got all our guests safely to the ceremony. He later brought everyone to and from our reception as scheduled, making multiple trips through the narrow streets of Boston without a hitch. He was very friendly, even with our bus full of loud adults who had had quite a few drinks throughout the night. Keep in mind, this is a big yellow school bus, but for us that just added to the fun. A+ service! Another note: Yes, Swampscott is a bit of a drive from Cambridge/Boston but the rates and service surpassed those of companies I had contacted in the immediate Boston area.

Listen up, Yelpers: (are you listening?)…read more This system is NOT perfect. However, it is really great for short neighborhood trips that would kill your schedule if you had to walk or make you kill yourself if you had to drive. But, WTF with no stations in Dorchester and yet 2 mere blocks apart in JP? That is WACK. Also, this is not a commuter option IMHO. Also BEWARE: 1) Not all stations have bikes all the time 2) Not all stations have parking slots all the time. To avoid over charges and irritation: GET THE APP BEFORE YOU USE THIS SYSTEM!!!!! oh, also: READ THE INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY: 1) You WILL be charged for rides over 30 minutes in duration. It says this ALLLLLLLLL over the kiosk and on the bike. How the hell did you miss that? And- you need your own helmet to carry around.

Runs on a half hour loop, weekday days, between Kendall and Harvard up the relatively desolate Broadway. Serviceable and reliable, no real reason to take it unless you live a good walk from a Redline waypoint, but good in a pinch if the T gets snarled in delays at rush hour.

The bad news is that you could be waiting a long time for it. My advice: walk up to Cambridge Street and take the 69. That thing runs regularly. It's reliable. It's solid. And it will basically get you to the same place.
