FAQ

What can I do in the Boston area now with Covid-19?

The short answer is a lot! That said, every aspect of visiting and experiencing Boston has been impacted by the pandemic. Given the frequent changes in city restrictions; the differences in how various tour guides, restaurants and other suppliers are navigating safety protocols; and the individual differences in travelers’ comfort levels, there is no universal way to answer this question. Discussing your interests and preferences will help us outline an itinerary that will work best for you to experience in Boston, even during the pandemic. Get in touch and we’ll figure it all out.

How do you assess the experiences that you recommend?

We have personally tested, or have trusted resources who have tested, every experience The Uncommonwealth recommends. We take pride in vetting the ‘best of’ Boston and work with suppliers and partners to ensure a high-quality experience for clients. We also seek post-journey feedback from every client, and continually re-evaluate the details of each experience to ensure they meet The Uncommonwealth standard. In addition to vetting, we also rely on an honest dialogue with all clients to ensure each experience and overall itinerary is a fit with every member of any visiting group.

I don’t have a luxury budget. Can you help me find less expensive experiences?

Yes! We are happy to talk with you for a one-hour consultation through which we can direct you to less expensive experiences, hotels, services and dining options in Boston that you can book on your own. There are many wonderful options in Boston for those on a budget! Don’t hesitate to ask. 

Can I choose any hotel or restaurant, or do you work with specific properties? 

We purposefully do not have exclusive partnerships with specific Boston hotels or restaurants, so clients know that we only refer and book what we consider the best, based upon their specific wants and needs. We will talk with you about your preferences and seek to understand what would feel special, luxurious and delicious to you – and we take it from there!
