Tim was a wonderful tour guide. Loved learning about all the historical buildings. He also made sure to show us things that most tourists won’t go see. That was the best part! Highly recommend!

We really enjoyed our tour. Our guide was knowledgeable and accommodating. The smaller group size allowed us to all be close enough to hear what he was saying and we could ask additional questions without feeling rushed. The pace of the walk was great and we enjoyed the stop by the pub as well. I’ve done the Freedom Trail before and knew that we weren’t looking for that on this trip. This tour gave us a great history lesson as well as update on current events in Boston. Our tour had an age range between 14-65 and everyone enjoyed the tour.

We enjoyed the tour very much. It gave us a good overview and hit most of the city’s most famous highlights. Our guide showed us a lot and was very engaging. The walk lasted longer than we expected and we loved that there was a break at a pub, beverage included. I would have rated it a five if there had been more emphasis on the pre-revolutionary events in Boston and their importance in the history of the founding of the country.

Friendly guide, but if you’re looking for a tour with a lot of history/facts, this isn’t the one. More of a see the building, get a fact, and move on.
