We had a wonderful time and learned so much. It is also a fun way to see Boston. The only negative that I could come up with was it was sometimes hard to hear our tour guide. I would suggest some kind of microphone. Otherwise, I would encourage everyone to give it a try!!

Picked up the tour at the information center in Boston Common. Caitlin in full period costume took through the first half of the Freedom Trail. She knew so many intricate details of the history of every stop, she was a definite historian of this time period in Boston. She told the story as if she were a shopkeeper during the period and we were all enthralled. As we walked with her on our journey back in time we feel like we were there experiencing the birth of our nation. We did not want it to end- She was really that good!!

I live in Boston and learned a ton on our tour. Very informative, friendly and knowledgeable tour guide.The tour took us to key stops in Boston to relive the history. My only complaint is there had to have been at least 40 people on the tour which made it difficult to always hear the tour guide and maneuver the city (with so many people).
