Ben was amazing. Through the cold weather he was entertaining, informative, and friendly! Would highly recommend.

Elizabeth was awesome. Our friends said they walked the Freedom Trail and we asked who they went with. They said they walked. It on their own. We are so glad that we chose to use a guide. Elizabeth added so much insight and perspective to the tour.

Our tour guide was excellent . She was dressed like a middle class woman from that time and had a lot of good history and stories we learned about the people in those times. Recommended this tour .
Adam_C, Nov 2025
The guide we had, Elizabeth, was so welcoming and informative. Great job of making the stories flow and tie into each other. It’s pretty crowded by other groups at every stop but she was easy to hear and understand the entire time. Great way to get a good introduction to the history and city streets.

It was fairly good fun but the guide really needed to brush up on her history given this was billed as a historical walking tour. It was all a bit superficial.
Colleen_G, Oct 2025
This tour was a joke - it is called the Freedom Trail tour and the guide never even mentioned the Freedom Trail. Our group had at least 80 people in it which was ridiculous trying go maneuver with that many people to the landmarks we walked to which were few and far between. The tour had us retracing our steps. We spent half the time crammed into a cemetery where the guide told bad jokes that we could barely hear. He spent the other half the time telling us about Sam Adams beer. Don’t waste your money. We ditched it after an excruciating hour.

I have done the Freedom Trail tour 3 times but Elaina was by far the very best I’ve ever had. She was funny, smart, and made learning so fun and interesting. She was great with my 4 year old and our whole family just enjoyed her energy and presence. Would recommend anyone request her specifically as she made the tour I’ve done before new, exciting and fun!

It was so interesting that we didn't want to miss anything Ben was saying. Very knowledgeable and skilled storyteller. Shared the warts and the glory of the people and the time.
Colleen_O, Oct 2025
Catherine was amazing. She pointed out things I didn’t know about the freedom trail and cemeteries we visited. Did a great job of fielding questions the group had. It was a fun experience.
Amanda_W, Oct 2025
Great historical information with a little added humor and personalization from our guide, Catherine.

Our guide Mrs. Palmer was delightful! She was engaging and super knowledgeable! The tour was just the right amount of time and walking. Highly recommend!!!
Regina_H, Oct 2025
The tour guide acted as a mediocre comedian rather than genuinely trying to impart historical information. As an example, referring to John Adams, Paul Revere and Samuel Adams as Johnny, Paulie, and Sammy was disrespectful to the historical figures and to those touring.
punam_k, Oct 2025
The guide had great energy and the way he told the tales for the kids made them pay attention for the entire trail.

Too much talking and not enough walking. No pause for questions. Too much time spent in the Burying Ground.
Anthony_K, Oct 2025

When they tell you to call if you have issues, forget it, I had issues and tried calling and got voice mail, that was a lot of help!!
barbara_p, Sep 2025
The pace is excellent. The length of the walk is probably one and a half miles. The guide is in costume and has a great sense of humor., In addition to being educated on the subject matter.

A walking tour you will not regret. Elaine Vrattos Jacobs aka Elizabeth Foster Goose (Mother Goose), is a Boston local who takes you on a fantastic adventure around the Freedom Trail. Highly recommended!
