Our guide Andrew was phenomenal. He was very courteous and friendly and had detailed exceptional knowledge of the historic events he described along the trail. I would recommend this tour to anyone interested in (re)discovering the story of our country’s founding.

Our guide made sure that everyone was close enough to hear him. He had a wealth of knowledge and presented it in such an down to earth manner and with some humor. He took us slightly off the trail to explore some interesting historical spots that we could never find on our own. My only complaint was that it was hard to find him to start the tour. The address given covered a 300 to 400 foot area.

Thank you for the great review! As far as the meeting point, I am not sure how to make it more descriptive: Departure Point: The corner of State and Congress Streets (outside 28 State Street), across from the Old State House Address: 28 State Street, Boston, MA 02109 Do you have a specific recommendation that would have made it easier for you?
