It was amazing! We were about to hop off and hop back on where we stopped to be able to get the full experience. We did the green route and learned so much history about Boston. The tour guides we had were very informative and hilarious. Definitely took the stress for us that haven't been to the New England area and looking to get to different places. Worth it 💯
