The walking tour with Alan was one of the best parts of our Boston trip. He was so knowledgeable, pleasant, funny & kind. Alan made our day/trip. We will definitely recommend our friends & family for the tour whenever they visit Boston.

Christy_A, Dec 2019

Very good guide. Worked very well young children. Knew his history extremely well. Pace was perfect. Showed some things that group tours would never see. Very likeable and friendly guide. Willing to adjust to our schedule because we were a bit late getting to meeting point. Also very willing to adjust meeting point to make it easy for us to park. Highly recommend the tou and our guide.
