    Fun night with Charlie

    Megan_N, Apr 2026
    Charlie is incredibly knowledgeable about Boston’s history, easygoing and picks up on the mood and pace of the group — even the youngest members with the shortest legs (and most questions)! My 9 year old loved this tour and stayed up *way* past his bedtime, simply enraptured by Charlie’s stories. Bonus points for accuracy without silly made-up-stuff … real history can be (and often is) just as horrific/spooky as tall tales!

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that Charlie made the tour so engaging for your whole family, especially your 9-year-old. It’s great to know the stories kept everyone captivated, even past bedtime! We also really appreciate your kind words about the focus on real history. Thanks again for joining us!

    The guide is lovely, but...

    Oscar_S, Oct 2025
    The guide is lovely, but I felt sorry for him. I just wanted to go home by the end. More walking than talking, having to cross the street 40 times, and I was just... bored. I felt so bad for the guide because he clearly loves Boston and its history... but the itinerary of the tour is just not there. Some people died horrible deaths, go figure. It was a waste of time and money, and I feel terrible for that.

    Charlie, our tour guide, was fantastic! He was very fun and easy to chat with and ask questions. The stories were engaging and interesting.

    Nice relaxing stroll, with history

    Charley_D, Jun 2025
    Charlie was a good guide with lots of information. He was a bit tough to hear but he said he orders a microphone for future tours.

    Don’t book!

    Jennifer_L, Mar 2024
    Tour guide never showed. Viator is denying a refund. We stood at the pick up stop on the phone with viator at the time they said the guide was there, and they are still denying a refund after their “investigation” that they refuse to share details about. Don’t book unless you want to throw away money!

    Fun tour

    SHERRY_P, Jan 2024
    It was interesting. Fun stories. Was pouring rain and freezing so i give the guide a lot of credit for keeping up his enthusiasm.
