Kelly was an amazing tour guide, funny and so informative about the history of Boston. Walking through the old streets, at a lovely strolling pace, Kelly kept us laughing and tell us about even the smallest of points of difference of the history of Boston. The 3 pubs we went to were historic and cool. Drink choices of local beer and ciders. Never been a cider person however tried the cider and it was delish. Being interactive at the bar, loved the shout of Huzzah at each pub, to the point we say it everywhere we go now. Definitely worth the few hours of this tour.

Our guide, Kelly, was great. We learned some interesting things and drank some delicious beer. It sucks that the tour is non-refundable. We paid for another couple to join us, but her father died and they obviously had to fly home and miss the tour. Seems like there should be exceptions to the rule allowed.
