Alen gave a personal small group tour in downtown Boston. We had a hard time finding the starting point of the tour due to construction of a parking ramp so we were happy we allowed an extra 15 minutes to navigate our way to the tour start.

I am very happy you made it! Always a good idea to leave a little extra time.

We started at the State House and immediately I was learning so many things about the history of Boston. The walk was pretty mild and you don't have to get far for a new, good story because, well, Boston. Our guide was SO nice. He was a Boston local and was so sweet! We had lots of questions and he knew the answers to every single one and always had a great joke up his sleeve. Boston has so much really neat history that you would never know unless someone told you, and that's exactly what we wanted this tour to do for us. It delivered!

The Freedom Trail tour was Amazing1 5 STAR experience! Our tour guide was wonderful. His knowledge of the history was extraordinary. The two hours flew by as we were fully engaged in the history of Boston . Our guide took his time at each stop to answer our questions and keep everyone engaged We started near the States house and covered more then half of the Freedom Trail ending back at the Copley Square.
