Tour guide, Andrew, was fantastic! He combined history with local anecdotes in humorous fashion. A great experience on our Boston excursion.

The tour guide (Alan I think) was excellent! Extremely knowledgeable about the city’s history. He showed us many unique buildings that we would not have noticed on our own. The pace was perfect. Be prepared to do a lot of walking though!!
