This was a wonderful walk through history. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and was a Bostonian with family dating back hundreds of years. Fascinating! He took us off the beaten path through some of the tiny alleys in Beacon Hill which provided escape for the underground railroad and the back story to go with it. Tons of stories about women's roles in the Revolutionary war era and how vital they were to the success of the Colonies. The architecture was beautiful. Loved it!

Our guide Alan keep us intrigued and entertained the whole time! This was a wonderful way to spend the morning walking around the town and learning about Boston's role in the American Revolution.

We love visiting the historical locations, but with over 60 people in the tour group, we heard NOTHING that was shared by the guide. We spoke to the guide before the tour, and he assured us that the tour would be small, or an additional guide would accompany us. The “gray-haired” folks elbowed us, shoved, and made this HUGE group an awful experience. They could not hear, so we suffered too!

We do not ever allow 60 people on a tour. This was not our tour. I wouldn't be pleased being on a tour with 60 other people either. You can choose Boston CityWalks and be assured we would never have a tour like that!
