The tour began at the visitors centre on Boston Common (cost $20). Our guide, Jeremiah Poope, was excellent. He was very knowledgable and also very entertaining, mixing interesting facts with amusing anecdotes and lesser known facts. The group was very large (50+ at a guess), but he managed very well, ensuring all heard and waited for everyone. His experience enabled him to guide us away from causing disruption to passers by on the pavements. Learned a lot, very entertained and enjoyed greatly.
