Brian makes this tour so fun. It’s a small group (our group had 4 people), so there was a lot of time for questions and interesting stories. Brian has a lot of energy and is very passionate about Boston history. I would highly recommend this tour!!

I think that it was a very good experience and Brian was very informative. However, I do think the information presented needs to be reconfigured in a more concise manner because I felt like I was being a lost after a while due to the amount of information presented. I liked that he took the time to take us to show us other points of interest that we're not necessarily on the freedom trail but are historical facts and do add richness of the experience. I liked Brian's energy but it was definitely very very high and it made it a little hard to follow. I'll be honest, I really don't remember that much because so much was presented. But the overall mood and the vibe were really great. I really appreciate that Brian gave us a more intimate tour and was not using a megaphone to shout info at us. It just made it more relatable that way. I would recommend Brian's tour regardless. It was very lively yet intimate.

We're so glad to hear that you enjoyed Brian's energy, knowledge, and the more intimate experience of exploring Boston with a local guide.

The tour might not suitable for youger kids most of the tour was looking at buildings and things while listening to the guide. Our guide did not even stop to ask when stayed behind.

Brian was awesome! He kept us entertained the entire time with plenty of fascinating stories. He even took us a little off the main trail to share some incredible historical insights. A few of us looked them up during the tour and were blown away by how accurate and detailed they were. You can tell he really knows his stuff. He was also amazing with the kids on the tour, keeping them engaged and making it fun for everyone. Highly recommend!

Brian was an incredible tour guide. Informative and entertaining, he brought the Freedom Trail to life for us. Throughout the journey, there were random passersby leaning in to learn from his enthusiasm and insight into the history of Boston. From the 54th Regiment Memorial (the sword is rubber!) to the Granary’s Franklin Memorial (Ben’s not there), we can’t recommend his services enough.

I was really excited to finally visit the Freedom Trail on my recent visit to Boston and wanted to more out of it than just walking it alone. I’m so glad I booked this walking tour! My guide was really informative and also made the tour fun. I’d suggest this tour to anyone visiting Boston!
