This was a great way to kill a few extra hours. We were in town for a concert and had a few free hours before dinner, so we booked this tour and we were glad we did! Brooke was a fantastic tour guide full of energy and made the tour very fun for all. She was highly knowledgeable on the history of Boston and covered a lot of information while not overwhelming - and of course the beer/pub stops were a nice way to break up the tour. Would recommend to anyone interested in learning a bit more about Boston’s history in a laid back and chill environment.

A two-hour walking tour with Brooke has turned into the highlight of our vacation in Boston. Our tour guide, Brooke, was passionate, charismatic, and made learning fun! She brought the stories and history of the city to life. We could not ask for a better way to be shown around the city. The stops along the path, the taverns we visited, and the many fun facts shared made this a tour to remember. This is a MUST do if you have the time.

We scheduled a private tour with the company as they did not have regular tour times during our travel to Boston. This tour was outstanding. Brooke is incredibly knowledgeable on all things history, Boston, and beer. Friendly, fun, and an all around great time, I can guarantee you I will do this tour again when I head back out to Boston. Check it out!!!! You wont be sorry
