Interesting and informative. Nothing mind blowing. Hard to find the guide at the busy intersection where you start. Perhaps a hand held sign would help.

I'm happy that the tour was interesting and informative for you, but would like to know what would have made it more "mind blowing" for you? I do wear my lovely Boston CityWalks baseball cap for the tours on that corner and look out for folks who may be coming for the tour. I am glad that you did find me. We had signs many years ago and that seemed to have not made a difference.

We had a great time on this tour! It was a wonderful way to get a lay of the land and see all different parts of the city. Our tour guide, Alan, was awesome. He was funny, informative, and extra kind to some children who were along for the tour. It was a terribly rainy day and Alan was also prepared with extra ponchos and masks for anyone who needed them. This was much appreciated! I really enjoyed the history of the area and the spots we visited. Thanks, Alan!

Anniversary trip to Boston, we had never been. Wanted to take in some of the history and scheduled a tour with Boston Cityworks/Tripadvisor. We had Alan and he was great. I would recommend him as a guide to anyone. The tour was great, informative, and fun. Would use if you've never been to Boston or if you're a regular.
