Top Boston Walking Tours - page 3

This was a really great walking tour with Chris who was highly educated and a fantastic history buff. Our guide made this tour so memorable with his many ancedotes about the founding fathers of our nation and some our earliest history of the revolution.

My wife and I are from Australia so our knowledge of Boston’s history wasn’t that vast. Our guide Mikayla was a fantastic tour guide. Her knowledge about the history of Boston was vast and it was matched by her enthusiasm for the subject matter. She provided a balanced account of the history of the city and separated myth from reality which was refreshing. I highly recommend the tour and more importantly Mikayla as the tour guide.

We just made it to the last tour, which is at 6:30 pm in the summer. I have a feeling that either a co-owner or somebody that had a lot of seniority in the company was giving us the tour. It was phenomenal. I forget his name, but he is Irish and has an Italian wife, and the jokes were just out of this world and clean. Now remember this is 6:30 PM last tour of the day, and this guy didn’t rush it; rather, he gave us an extra hour almost of Boston. Every side street, every address, every intersection, he had a story for it. He had historical facts that I thought might be made up, but once I checked, he actually knew more history than most tour guys I’ve met. The boat captain was also amazing. Very calm, content, easygoing, even let my daughter drive the boat. When I handed them a tip, they refused; that’s what led me to think that he was probably a co-owner or even the owner, and the fact that he extended the tour by almost an hour. If you are in Boston, this place is a must-do. I’ve done it already twice, and both times were spectacular. And both times, twice different as well.
