Our tour was led by Isaiah Thomas - aka Robert - and it was entertaining and interesting at the same time. He's really funny and did a great job at teaching us about the Freedom Trail history without being boring.

We booked the tour with my parents who are in their 70s. It was great fun, really informative and our guide was incredibly knowledgeable. There are some places where elderly guests can sit, but they are limited. With a relatively large group you need to keep aware about moving around among regular Bostonians. All in all, great value and a wonderful experience.

We had the pleasure of joining the tour with our guide Dr Byles. He was very engaging and we really enjoyed his humourous take on the historic sites whilst still telling us lots of interesting facts. Well worth the $14 per head price.
