Our guide was informative and entertaining. Halfway through we were told to take a 5-10 minute bathroom break. It took us about 10 minutes to get everyone through the line for the restroom and the group left without us! It was probably a group of 20 people and we were 3 of them. I’m pretty sure that they knew there were people missing.

Thought we had a foolproof system, but I guess not. So sorry you were left behind! That is the first time in all these years. Please contact me directly so we can make it right. [email protected]

I definitely recommend starting your Boston vacation with this tour! You will see so much of the city and get more history than you can imagine. Our tour guide (I wish I could remember his name) was amazing. He knew so much, and made learning history entertaining. He had a great sense of humor. It was a lot of walking so be sure to wear comfortable shoes. Be aware that where the tour starts and ends are in two completely different places.
