My favorite part was the cemetery, a few famous people in history are buried there. I also enjoyed seeing the end of the Boston Marathon & hearing historical stories from our guide

The Granary Cemetery is certainly one of Boston's Highlights. Happy you enjoyed the stories and our "running" of the Boston Marathon.

Wasn’t quite what I was expecting (and maybe that was one me)! I learned more about the trail from a YouTube video! Guide also insulted us for visiting Salem on our trip! He was knowledgeable but felt it was in a pretentious way, i enjoyed the 5 minute YouTube video more than this tour! Wouldn’t not recommend

It would really have helped if you said what you were expecting versus what you received. Not sure why you were insulted about whatever was said about Salem (although I don't know what that might be) and sorry you took personally whatever else was said.

Andrew was a great guide. We loved his funny, intelligent and informative narrative along the Freedom Trail and the area around Beacon Hill and Copley Square/Back Bay. It was amazing.
