What Our Guests Say

"We arrived by cruise ship. Our guide was Mark. He did an excellent job communicating before and after we arrived. Meeting him was easy which is not always the case in a cruise ship port. We opted for a private tour as we usually do. I had been in Boston before buy my wife had not so I wanted her to get a good overview of the city and surround areas. The tour Boston Hidden Gems and Mark put together was perfect. We visited Caffe Vittoria, the North End's oldest continually cafe to enjoy a beverage and a pastry and see this amazing old cafe. We then did a walking tour of tne North End that included learning a lot of the history and importance of the neighborhood. We received a history lesson while seeing the places that made history. We visited the Old North Church which has a special place in our nation's history. We also visited the USS Constitution (Old Ironside), the Bunker Hill Monument, Boston Common, the fascinating neighborhoods of Acorn St/Beacon Hill. There was more but you get the idea. Boston Hidden Gems will put together an amazing tour and you will leave Boston knowing far more than you did when you arrived. That wasn't all but what was important to us is the Mark put what we were seeing into perspective. Thank you, Mark."

"We would highly recommend this family owned tour company! Our family booked a private tour for the Castles and Curses trip to Hammond Castle and Salem. With the number of people we had visiting, it made more economic sense to book as a group, rather than paying for individual tickets. It was worth every penny! Maria was a fabulous guide and was able to customize the trip: for example, allowing us to choose a lunch restaurant and answering dozens of questions we had about history, politics and culture in MA. Book with Hidden Gems for an accurate and fun history lesson!"

"I wanted to share my appreciation for the awesome walking tour of Harvard and MIT. The experience was truly memorable! Harvard Highlights: Walking through Harvard Yard and seeing iconic spots like the John Harvard Statue and Widener Library gave me a real sense of history and tradition. MIT Experience: On the Charles River to explore MIT’s campus was equally inspiring. The bold architecture and the innovative vibe made the tour feel like a journey into the future. The stories, insights, and energy throughout the tour were fantastic. It was a perfect blend of history, innovation, and campus life. Thank you for making it engaging and informative—I left feeling inspired and energized!"
