This tour really fulfilled our expectations. As first-time visitors to Boston, we were shown so many historic sites. Our guide was very knowledgeable as he explained things, and also when he fielded questions. It was a wonderful experience! We highly recommend it for other first-timers to the city.

Really informative and interesting. Touched on key points of the Freedom Trail, but also on Boston’s development throughout history and really interesting architectural facts. Our tour guide Alan was so informative and clearly has a love of the city, and he had just the right balance of facts, humour and never stopping too long at one point. Really enjoyed it all. I will say, this is NOT an immersive drama tour with a dressed character as your guide, though I will say I think this tour is all the better for that reason. Less theatre, more information.
