Alan was a great tour guide! He knew so much history of Boston, including buildings that weren’t specially part of the tour! He was engaging, funny, and kept a good walking pace! Def would recommend this tour to anyone hoping to learn some history of downtown Boston!

Nothing too memorable for us…the tour guide seemed knowledgeable, but there was no chemistry there. It was very cold for a 10 am two hour tour, so we ditched half way through and went into Emmett’s for Irish Coffee to warm us up. We finished up the freedom trail tour self guided, and looked up the info on the sites we saw on our phones.

Wondered what happened to you. Sorry the cold got to you. Maybe warmth would have allowed better chemistry for you. Hope the coffee helped.
