Arty gives a great tour that's very detailed. The extensive research he has done on Boston's history shows, and he presents the information in an easy to understand way. The images on the screen help bring the various stories to life. He is calm, patient and kind. He helped me take some great photos at the historic sites. He also recommended a lovely pizza place for lunch and more places around Boston he thought I'd enjoy visiting. Definitely worth it.
