We had to come to the Boston area for a wedding, and I wanted to take my daughters and grandson on a quick tour of the city, but didn't want to do a self-guided tour. Ted was recommended through another tour guide who was not available. He was perfect. We had a great time walking the Freedom Trail, seeing the Cheers Bar and many other sights. He was so welcoming and so knowledgeable, it was almost like having a friend show you the town. He made all the history come alive, and even found a way to keep my 6-year old grandson engaged. We definitely recommend Ted and Hub Town Tours!
