Boston: Freedom Trail History Small Group Walking Tour

Freedom Trail Experience

Kiera was a wealth of knowledge. I would suggest using whisperers so we could listen as we walk instead of standing in one place so. At times there were too many people and you couldn’t hear. I am not a fast walker so it was a bit rushed between stops. Also, I would suggest another bathroom stop. Overall it was great!!

Great tour seeing many humpback whales

As I was walking with a cane, I was allowed to board early so I did not have to stand for a long time. The boat left on time. The naturalist provided excellent commentary throughout our trip and the captain was adept at moving the boat around so that everyone had a good view of the whales once we found them. The initial trip out was a bit rough for a bunch of people, because of 4-5 foot waves (did not bother me at all). Before we left the crew did warn people to take dramamine, though. We saw several humpback waves, including a mother and baby. They stayed pretty close to the boat so we got excellent views and pictures. We were out near the whales for an hour and a half. The ride back was much calmer. I would highly recommend this tour!

Hilarious and Hauntingly Good Time

I’ve been on several ghost tours, but the Boston Ghost and Graveyard Tour was in a league of its own, largely thanks to our incredible host, Petunia. She is a natural storyteller who brings Boston’s dark history to life with genuine passion, all while staying perfectly in character from start to finish. Petunia is absolutely hilarious, and her performance turned an informative walk into an unforgettable, high-energy event. I also loved the seamless transition to the second host at the graveyard—her eccentric energy kept the momentum going perfectly, making the whole evening feel like a top-tier one-man show. If you take this tour, you’re in for a treat with Petunia leading the way!

Proper Boston Boat Tour

Such a great experience! This is the proper way to tour Boston’s harbor and to take in the city’s beautiful views from the ocean. The crew was very friendly and even let us help out with raising the boats sails which made it feel really cool. Amazing history behind the ship Fame is based off of and its mission during the War of 1812. Highly recommend to everyone visiting Boston.

Great informative overview of Boston history

We really enjoyed this walking tour. It went for about two hours from the Boston Common to Paul Revere's house in the North End, and our guide had a constant supply of stories and facts to keep the group entertained. He kept in character throughout, and did a great job in providing a rich historical perspective, capped off by describing the facts and circumstances of Paul Revere's ride. While I don't remember the guide's name, he did the 1:30 pm session on May 18.

Awesome tourist attraction!!

I had David as our tour narrator and he was amazing!! As a solo traveller I was skeptical on doing this alone but as soon as I got on the boat it was super easy and super fun! Dave is hilarious and has a great sense of humour! Didn’t think this was really my thing but LOVED it and so glad I went!! I learned so much!

We had a great time on...

We had a great time on the sunset tour! Service was great and the views were beautiful! We even got to see the USS Constitution fire a canon! The only downfall was it was hard to hear the captain's commentary over the speakers. Not really sure what he was explaining about the places we passed. We would do it again if ever in Boston!

A well-rounded experience

Our family LOVED this. The whole experience was WAY more interesting and informative than I expected. I was concerned it would just be cutesy for young children, but the history, storytelling and technology were really impressive. The actual "tea party" part was literally 10 minutes of an hour+ long experience, but the rest was so engaging that it didn't matter at all. And afterwards, the cafe offered a bottomless tea tasting of the five varieties originally found on the ship that night -- that was one of my favorite parts, what a unique idea! Billy was a GREAT host and stayed in character the whole time. I'm so glad we booked this experience.

Overall a lovely...

Overall a lovely experience. Friendly staff, plenty of seating area to the right of check in spot while waiting for the checking time. Lots of cool fun facts during ride and lots of seating options. I sat inside and stood outside. It was 30ish degrees so not many people were outside. Views were really pretty. Enjoyed watching the planes fly over us every few minutes. Plenty of charging ports inside and cool that there were restrooms onboard. Be mindful that the ticket that is added to your Apple Wallet is not used for check in. You have to enter the building where you purchase tickets, they’ll ask you for your name and give you a physical ticket that you hand over at the check in gate. I was not aware of this, but it was not far away so I didn’t miss the check in window. For my first trip to Boston, this was definitely a core memory.

Beautiful journey from Boston to Salem

I loved the harbor and leaving it to be taken care of with respect and care by the crew as we journeyed to Salem. The main crew member who spoke to us all was warm, personable, and kind. I'm sorry I forgot his name. The ride was great. Loved the amenities [stocked bar]
