Cindy, our tour guide, was amazing. It was good to do just the private tour and pay the extra money to be able to hear her and not struggle. She was very informative and knew her history. Even taught us things that we throught were right, but turns out were wrong. She took us to areas where the other guides don't bc of the size. Gave us suggestions of where to go to after the tour was over and never rushed us. All in all would highly recommend.

Cindy, our guide, was amazing. She was knowledgeable, funny, entertaining, and very patient with our questions. She showed us streets and alleys and told building histories that we never would have heard or thought about happening in Boston. I very much recommend the private tour, which gives you a more in-depth personable experience that is incomparable to a large group. We were able to do things that most couldn’t do and we were able to go at our own pace. We skipped the parts that we had already seen while here in Boston. And the best part I was with my two daughters, ages 17 and 14, and we requested to know more about the women in the history of Boston, which so much of the history has been reported around the famous founding fathers and fighters so often leaving out much of the story. We learned both sides, the men and their contributions to history and the women and their contributions. It was a very worthwhile and educational experience, which I hardly recommend.
