Skywalk Observatory, Prudential Center alone was worth the trip, but combined with Fenway Park tour this itinerary really delivered. Breakfast at the hotel was good every day and the local guide was knowledgeable.

Booked this as a family of 4 trip and it was well paced. Skywalk Observatory, Prudential Center in particular stood out. A couple of the transfers ran a little late but nothing that spoiled the trip.
