Traveler Reviews

This was so fun and our tour guide was great! He was very knowledgeable and made it fun! Highly recommend!

Alan brought the whole tour to life and made it a memorable experience, especially my grandson who was visiting from California and was doing the freedom trail for the first time.

Our guide was brilliant, made history come to life for us, great and humorous way of giving information to us. Highlights were the Boston massacre, Mount Vernon, the park and common, finally the church by the library.

Our guide was excellent. I appreciated his thoroughness and charm. He did an excellent job at explaining the history in simple terms as well as tying it into modern times such as how Boston celebrates the historical moments now. He brought a sense of humanness to the historical facts as well as provided a level of historical perspective which I often miss in reading or in other tours. We visited many places on the tour which brought much context into our overall stay in Boston. It was easy to locate the guide and we lingered at the first stop probably the longest to to give late arrivals time to catch up. I thought the tour was very reasonability priced based on what we got. We spent 70 minutes go through much of downtown and had the option to pay $15 more to continue with the 2-hour tour that went past the Boston Commons.

We really appreciated this tour. It gave a lot of context to our visit in Boston. The tour guide was easy to find and we lingered a little at the first stop to give time for everyone to arrive. I thought the guide did a great job tying in the historical perspective while also adding a little humor. We had the opportunity to extend the tour if we wanted as well which was a great option. We decided to stop after 70 minutes because it was raining and we had more we wanted to explore downtown.
