Ted was our guide for two days in a row. We got lucky and one of our public tours ended up being just our family, so it was very intimate and both days we were able to ask a lot of questions. Ted’s knowledge and energy level was what made these two days the highlights of our family vacation. We have 3 kids (18, 17, 13) who love history (big-time Hamilton fans) and Ted truly expanded their appreciation of our county’s beginnings: the good, the bad, the ugly. We booked parts 2 and 3 over two days, and we should’ve done all three! Too much to do in Boston. Ted’s utilization of pictured laminates along with his compelling story-telling ability caused the current day facade of Boston to melt away and we saw the young men harassing the sentry down by the Old State House. I won’t spoil the ending, but the way Ted leaves you in suspense from chapter to chapter truly is a gift of his. You can tell when someone is doing something he/she loves - the match was perfect as we were game to learn more and Ted was game to teach more! Stay at home and read the book if you’re not truly interested in learning about Boston’s role in the history of our country. Run, do not walk, to any of Ted’s tours while in town!!

Families filled with history fans make my life as a guide so much fun! Thank you all for joining me for "Rebellion" and "Revolution," and I hope you'll find yourselves back in town someday to hear "Resistance," too. Revolutionary Boston is a remarkable time and place in history, and I am very lucky to have the Freedom Trail as the backdrop for my storytelling. I deeply appreciate your taking the time to write this incredible review; all my best to you and the family!
