Fun way to learn about Boston’s Revolutionary history and taste some different beers and ciders. Both the history and the beers were excellent! Brooke was an entertaining and extremely knowledgeable guide. This tour offers two big advantages over other Boston history walking tours: small size and the opportunity to take breaks from the heat (or other extreme weather). Well worth the money. Thanks Brooke!
