The guide- Alan- was extraordinary!! A real gem. If you should get so lucky to have this one, it’s a fantastic tour. I could have listened to him all day.

I wanted a tour of text book Boston/American history. This was not it. The tour guide was very animated and knowledgeable, but we barely were on the freedom trail the whole tour.

I am not sure I understand. You chose a tour that includes the Downtown Freedom Trail plus Beacon and Back Bay. The Downtown Freedom Trail is the "textbook" American History you said you want and is about 60% of the tour. The rest is quintessential Boston - Beacon Hill, where the Boston aristocracy lives, and beautiful 19th century architecture Back Bay. That is what you signed up for, right?

Our tour guide went off parts of the traditional walking tour so we could gain even more history of Boston. He was extremely knowledgeable and had many interesting details of the places and landmarks we visited.
