We were really hesitant to do a Freedom Trail tour with some cheesy character dressed up. We were worried that the size of the group wold get in the way of our experience. However, Caitlin was incredible!!! She spoke loudly and clearly so that even if you were in the back of the group you could hear her. Her character was funny, excited, and informative. She answered any and all questions that we had and really got us excited about Boston's history. Our group was pretty large too, and she did an excellent job of wrangling all of us through the busy streets of Boston. It was absolutely one of the best experiences I had in Boston and I would recommend it to anyone! If you can, try to get Caitlin as your guide! I wish she could have walked the rest of the Freedom Trail with us! Thanks, Caitlin!! :)

Chose a guided tour of the freedom trail. Caitlin led the group and was awesome. I was worried about the rather large group size and not being able to hear. boy, does her voice resonate, in a good way. She spoke loud, clear, and was very entertaining and knowledgeable. Tour ended at Faneuil hall. Wish we could have continued with her as our guide. She did not disappoint... She made history come alive, not sure if there's a better compliment. Thanks, girl!

We came to Boston and luckily stumbled upon this tour.... absolutely amazing and you won't be disappointed. Our guide was Caitlin Johnston. She was very knowledgeable and very easy to follow! I have always loved history but she made it our best tour of the trip. Go! You will love it too. Thanks Caitlin
