Happy Experience Nice people & service. All around a very positive experience!
Excellent The whole trip was wonderful. We had excellent guide who was so informative and helpful and of course, a pleasant bus ride both ways, complementing a wonderful Tanglewood concert on a gorgeous summer day.
Nice Drive We loved this tour company. It was the perfect way to get from Boston to Tanglewood and back. We would highly recommend and will be using it again.
Wonderful Day! Wonderful day! Great to have a wonderful crew to ensure that everything went well and on schedule.
Great Service. Great Concert. We had a wonderful time at Tanglewood, and a very smooth ride there thanks to the efficient bus service from the Boston Common. Worth leaving the car at home for a more relaxing trip.
A BIG thank you!!!!!! We will definitely go again next year!!!!!
We very much enjoyed our trip to Tanglewood on July 21. Our guide was lovely. A wonderful day, and we will plan to going there with you again next season. Thanks very much.
The trips are well organized, the bus very comfortable and the Tanglewood experience always memorable. We definitely hope to be back next summer.
Great way to enjoy such a beautiful place. Definitely more relaxing than driving. Drove through Stockbridge to avoid the traffic on the way back and the escort was very informative.
Thanks for making very last weekend of month-long stay in Massachusetts with fantastic tour for Tanglewood. All staff and participants are classical music lovers and we will never forget every moment of trip, even on board of bus!!
Great trip to Tanglewood. I just wanted to say that my friend and I really enjoyed the trip to Tanglewood yesterday. The Tour Director was excellent...very organized and fun to be with, with lots of good commentary on the sights as we moved along. I hope she'll be directing next year.
That was the most enjoyable and relaxing trip to Tanglewood we have ever taken. We have always bought our own tickets and driven out there from the Boston area. I don't think we will be doing that again! The bus left at a very easy time, reasonable parking, clean and luxurious bus with wifi, wonderful and attentive Tour Director, Julie. The BSO was incredible as usual and we got home about 8:30 PM completely relaxed. It was like a great one day vacation. Thank you Berkshire Tour Company!

We couldn’t have driven around Boston without him and he knew everything and was very conscientious. Loved seeing the Constitution on the cruise and people were able to get on it when we were at the naval yard.
