Great introduction to Boston. Great for kids 8 and up. Takes a little over 2 hours. Slow to moderate pace you do not have to be in great shape.

Alan was a very knowledgeable and entertaining guide - he’s a local and knows his Boston history. We very much enjoyed the tour and would recommend this as a great way to learn, as well as get your bearings in the area if you’ve never been here. There are a few places from the tour we’ll go back to and spend more time.

Thanks for your recommendation. Hope you had a chance to go back and see some of the sites in more detail.

We had such a great time learning about Boston! Our guide, Andrew, was very knowledgeable and kept us laughing with cool stories about historical figures, some familiar, but many I had never heard of as well! My favorite part was learning about many women, left out of my history book, who helped to make Boston the great city that it is!
