When arrived at the Boston Common, I showed the guide my ticket on my phone and he seemed bewildered. He pointed me to another guide who had already started her tour and said we must be in that group. Her group was very large and she was not mic’d so we could hardly hear a word she said. Adding to the frustration was the incessant nearby construction equipment noise which helped to drown her out even more. At the end of her first speech, she asked to see my ticket and again, she looked perplexed and said we’d settle up at the end. By the second stop, we just gave up trying to hear her and left the tour. I downloaded a self/guided tour and we did it on our own. That was $50 down the drain for me. BTW, we did notice other guides were mic’d so I don’t understand why “ours” wasn’t. I’d recommend sparing yourself the frustration and using a self guided approach.
