Our tour guide, Alan, was knowledgeable and amusing and gave us an excellent tour. The walk was easy with plenty of stops. It gave us a great overview of Boston and its history. We can really recommend this tour. Most enjoyable!

Our guide was so entertaining. I picked this tour to see more of the city. We would not have seen the lovely Back Bay and Beacon Hill areas if we just did a Freedom Trail tour. Only suggestion would be a 5 minute break halfway through.

We usually do schedule a break at Boston Common. Sorry that did not happen for you.

On Monday May 9th in the morning I was able to take a tour that took us through the Freedom Trail, Beacon Hill, Copley Square, and Back Bay. We had a wonderful tour guide who was very knowledgeable, friendly, and funny. I asked several questions not really covered by the tour and he was able to answer them and provide interesting history notes. The tour is very walkable and not too much of an trip to where most people couldn't make it. We stopped for a bathroom break halfway through in the Boston Commons and he really provided us with a great experience even recommending places to go beyond the tour when we ended. We had a small group but it was a really enjoyable time and I felt I learned a lot about the history of Boston as well as getting a chance to explore a good part of the city. Definitely worth the small fee.
