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.

There is another Frank Lloyd Wright home on the same street called the Zimmerman House. You get a tour of both that takes about 2 hours. A unique and education experience you don't want to miss if you're a fan of FLW.

We made a couple of stops which were very enjoyable. We would have liked a bit of time in Edgartown also but enjoyed the drive through so now we know we want to go back. Very convenient picking up the tour from the ferry.

Craig was great today. We wanted to see and hear personal stories as well as some history, and we…read morereceived that and more. 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!

We enjoyed our Boston Duck Tour earlier this month and the tour itself was amazing. Our narrator…read more(The detective?) and the driver were fantastic and our whole family was laughing the entire time. When I took my kids on the tour in 2019, I was so impressed with the professionalism of the attendants who help out beforehand. They were all wearing khakis, had their shirts tucked in, and there were no phones in sight. I remember one lovely young man who was wearing a Vineyard Vines belt and my son was obsessed with it, and he graciously told me what the print was called and I was able to purchase it for him for Christmas that year. This time around, it was shocking to me how opposite our experience was pre-tour. I recall in 2019 receiving a warm welcome walking up to the boarding location, but not this time. They were all huddled in a pile by the umbrella, and no one greeted us. I approached an employee who identified himself as a driver and instead pointed me to an attendant who could "better assist". When I asked which boat to board, we were rudely told to "Just wait here until we announce it", which felt like a big departure from the friendliness of a few years ago. The attendants themselves just looked messy, and it seems the standards went down significantly. We had so much fun on the tour itself, but the end to end of an experience is really what makes or breaks it, and the bad customer service before boarding left a sour taste in our mouths.

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.

Must experience this tour! Captain Nathaniel Hutchins aka Matt gave a very engaging Reverse Tour…read morethat started at Faneuil Hall and ended at Boston Commons. Great storytelling about revolutionary events, like the Boston Massacre, and the Boston Tea Party. He also helped debunk the Paul Revere story and gave credit to the riders that actually helped alert the town. Navigating the car noise, traffic signals, and competing tour groups was tricky in the sometimes-narrow cobblestone streets, so he deserves credit for keeping the group intact. He was also one of only a couple of tour guides that actually dressed the part (Nathaniel was his ancestor), which was a significant bonus in bringing the storytelling to life. Very friendly, knowledgeable, and entertaining. Highly recommend asking for Captain Nathaniel, aka Matt!
