Our group of 5 middle-aged adults enjoyed Ben’s tour very much and found it quite enjoyable and informative.
Ben is a pleasant, energetic, enthusiastic teacher of Boston’s history. He is a fountain of information, which gushes, forth for the entire tour. His tour is like a school without walls set right in the heart of old Boston. He personalized the tour for us. It was the highlight of our trip to Boston.
The fact that Ben is a distant relative of Paul Revere by marriage and has a long ancestral past with Boston. This adds a little something to the tour. He has studied his subject and knows it well. He has written a children’s book on Boston, which is quite nice.
The tour itself is outstanding. Ben’s selection of minor points of interest to compliment the major historical sites presents a nice balance and tempo. For example, the ladies really enjoyed sitting at the table and having their pictures takes at the table in the Parker House Hotel where John Kennedy proposed to Jackie.
It was nice to have a guide who really knows his subject and just doesn't make things up. Ben answered all questions and would say so if he didn’t know the answer to a question.
Ben’s ability to make an understandable oral presentation on various subjects and tie them all together is superb. His use of visual aids added much to the tour. Ben had visual aids in the form of pictures, maps and newspaper articles that were viewed and discussed during stops at various points of interest. Additionally, Ben gave us various materials after the tour to take home including videos and access to web sites, which discuss things seen on the tour.
Going the extra mile, Ben provided us with a written list of recommended restaurants, which was very helpful. The list was written from the point of view of a native Bostonian and thus was very insightful.

We enjoyed the trip. It was very informative and we had a lot of fun learning about historical aspects of Boston. Worthwhile if you only have a short time in Boston.

The Boston Duck Tour people were great, but I can't say the same for the Viator people. If I hadn't managed to contact Boston Duck Tour, I would not have been able to take or tour OR get my money back. That said, 'Dirty Waters', my tour guide, was excellent.

This was a very enjoyable way to see the sites. Our conDUCKtor was very entertaining and informative. She was really good at involving the kids on the DUCK and keeping them interested. We went on a tour later in the afternoon and it seemed to be a lot less crowded than earlier tours we saw leaving so it probably is more enjoyable at this time, particularly if you are in a group and want to sit together. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is looking for a fun way to see the city but perhaps not for anyone that is looking for a more serious historical tour.

The majoriity of the tour was great. However, the lunch stop was not unitl after 2 pm and too much time was allocated for lunch shopping at Quincy Market. The result was by the time we arrived at the USS Constitution there was insufficient time to visit the ship. We were the first ones off the bus and due to the long security lines by the time we boarded the ship there was only 5 minutes before we were due to reboard the bus. All most everyone else on the bus gave up on trying to get on board. If visiting the ship is high on your list of things to do then you will need to make a separate visit. Can't blame the tour company for the long security lines but scheduling the Constituion for the end of day is not a good plan.
