What makes this tour stand out from the others? Simply put, authenticity, accuracy, wittiness, and the guide's enthusiasm to their craft. Adam and his historian colleagues utilize of their vast and intricate knowledge of Colonial Boston and 18th century society to paint an incredibly vivid picture while providing a fresh perspective on the American Revolutionary period. If there is a particular historical figure or topic you're interested in, Adam will provide you with plenty of opportunities to take a deep dive into those subjects to explore them in detail. Not to mention, Adam is a professionally trained 18th century tailor, so don't miss the opportunity to ask him about his attire, as he's painstakingly hand-sewn much of what he will be wearing on your tour. As a former Boston resident who has experienced practically every type of tour available in Boston, take my advice, this is the one tour you don't want to miss – even if you've done those "other" walking tours. Oh, have I mentioned the dad jokes? There will be plenty of dad jokes.

Thank you so much Tyson! I'm glad you think our work stands out, and not just with phenomenally bad puns.

Researched in detail and full of enthusiasm! Meandered around thr Freedom Trail, learned about the many cultures, ideas and beliefs that shaped early Boston and laughed at some good jokes. Plus there's a dog co-guiding!
