Our guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining which made the tour that much more enjoyable. Just the right amount of info, walking, and sightseeing. I know so much more about Boston now.

Very good tour that covers much of Boston. If you’re looking for in depth Freedom Trail Revolutionary War tour this is not the tour for you. It does cover some of the highlights and also historic architecture on Beacon Hill and Back Bay. Good overview.

Thanks for your incisive review. We do aim to give just the right mix of Boston's history, architecture and culture which would make it a broader tour than just the Revolutionary War.

Good tour. Informative and friendly. It was challenging to hear the guide in some spots because of the noise around us. He had great recommendations for a place to get hot chocolate and have lunch after the tour. Would recommend.

Happy you enjoyed the tour and recommended food places. Next time let the guide know you are having difficulty hearing so he can mitigate that.
