My husband, 18 year old son and myself booked a guided tour of The Freedom Trail. Caitlin Johnston was our tour guide and she was excellent! She made history come alive. She was humorous,knowledgeable and entertaining. Caitlin's tour was one of our family's favorite things we did in Boston.

If your family consists of children of widely varying ages, you parents know that there are not many activities that can keep your whole family entertained, educated and happy for several hours. My wife and I were so pleased that Caitlin Johnson's tour of the Freedom Trail did just that for our 4 children, aged 10 to 18. For most family activities, at least one of our kids is bored and restless. But, like a great Pixar movie, this tour kept everyone rapt and happy. Everyone reported a great experience. I learned a ton. I would do a tour with Caitlin again in a heartbeat. She was well informed, theatrical, she projected her voice to everyone, she was in costume, and she kept things moving along. Next time we're in Boston we hope to do another tour with her.

Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and shared an interesting historical insight. We enjoyed all of the stories he shared along the way. Advice: we took our 10 and 11 year old kids. They enjoyed the tour but it was a little too much talking for them, so it was hard to keep their interest. Also, if you tour during the week, the streets are very busy with people and cars from all of those working in the area. We went on a Saturday which was much nicer. There were a lot of tours going on, but not near the amount people and it was much less busy.
