Our tour guide was excellent and was very knowledgeable about the history of the area. She stayed in character for the duration of the tour.
Our guide was funny, considerate and SO knowledgeable. I learned so much and it was really interesting. Our 8 year old even said it was cool! Would highly recommend!
First time in Boston and the Freedom trail tour was so worth it. Ben, our tour guide was very informative and a great story teller that made the tour very enjoyable
We learned so much history that we did not know! Ben was very good and informative! He was very entertaining!
Fantastic tour. Learned so much. If I could give Ben our guide ten stars I would. He it so interesting and fun. Did not want it to end. Highly recommend this tour. You won’t regret it.
Catherine was an excellent tour guide. So energetic and knowledgeable! We had a wonderful experience and loved learning so many interesting facts during our walking tour. So fun-would highly recommend!
Enjoyed the walking tour and listening to the history. The tour guide was knowledgeable and animated in her story telling.
This was a great tour! Our guide, Catherine, was super informative and had a great personality. The tour felt very interactive, and it was evident that she genuinely enjoys her job. I would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Boston! It was the perfect length to get just enough information and history about the area without feeling overwhelming.
Lots of walking , tons of history, and our tour guide Neil M. ,had us captivated the whole time! Would highly recommend this tour!
This tour is not geared for families with little ones. Young children will become bored. However, this tour will entertain adults.
Ben was an excellent tour guide! He was enthusiastic, energetic, and funny. The speaker system was loud and clear, so we could always hear Ben without any trouble. We learned so much about the places and historical figures included in the tour!
Catherine was fantastic and fun! Sooo much knowledge tied up in that bonnet! Thanks for the great info and fun! Your friends from California!
Our tour guide (I wish I remembered his name) was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. He brought the history to life and made it relatable. The 90min tour actually lasted 2 hours. It is an easy walk and very interesting.
Great tour. Ask for Ben the tour guide. He was fantastic. He is very knowledgeable and entertaining. The best tour guide we ever had anywhere
Me and My Wife thought it was very good. The guy was very informative. That was a good day 12345678 910 1112 words.
Very interesting and informative especially if you were not paying attention in school to history, this makes it more real/
Our tour guide was Elaina (Mother Goose). She was fabulous! Her explanations were very clear and done in story form that was easy to listen to and very informative. She was both a fun and friendly guide. Thank you, Elaina!!
The guide was great. He knows his history and made the storytelling fun! The rain didn’t turn anyone away as we wanted to keep going and hearing all about the freedom trail.
Enjoyable tour! I wish it was a little longer. Also, not many shady spots to stop and listen. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and kind.
It's a good overview of the area. Lots of waking but very informative. Our guide was engaging and kind. Pointed out cool extras
Catherine was amazing. She was very knowledgeable and personable. Her love of Boston showed. Highly recommend this tour
While our tour guide was nice and knowledgeable, the overlap/competition from other tour guides made it incredibly difficult and frustrating to get the full experience. We didn’t have time to take pictures and had to skip some areas due to too many different groups. Would probably see if I could find an audio tour to do instead.
Neil was amazing
Great energy and entertaining
It was hot and he got us into shade whenever possible
Great tour around the key historical sites in Boston. My kids and I learned a lot about early American history. It was exactly what we were hoping for.
We were there early but could not figure out what group was ours - there were several. The tucket gave us an address only instead of saying what building to meet in front of. We went across the street and by time we figured out where to be it was 11:02 and the group had left. No one answered the phone and we couldn't reschedule or get a refund. Very frustrating- it was like throwing money away. We bought a walking map and figured it out ourselves.
She was very knowledgeable and funny! Great personality too. It was a great tour! I do wish it was a smaller group!
Ben our guide was excellent. He made history come alive. He also included the group to partake in answering and asking questions.
We enjoyed it. Covered the highlights efficiently on a hot day. Aaron S. Brought good energy and personality.
Was such a great experience even in the heat. Ben was an excellent guide, had a lot of knowledge and was very funny as well.
This tour was excellent! Our guide Rosalie was very informative and FUN. We all had a great time learning the history of Boston in an interactive way, even our 8yr old! We would highly recommend this tour.
