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!

We had a great time with Alexandria! She picked us up on time, helped load our luggage, customized our tour so that we got to see what we wanted with a combo of walking and riding that was just right! We appreciated the comped coffee and the punctuality! Would definitely do this again instead of waiting for hours at the airport or the train station!

Great tour with Jenny. So much history, architecture, engineering and science on this tour of two excellent and historic colleges. I absolutely recommend this walking tour of MIT and Harvard if you are passing through or staying Boston for a while.
