The Freedom Trail is the big must do for anyone visiting Boston, and I knew that going in, but the question remained to do a tour or to self guide. We ended up getting the tour with Caitlin and it was far and above my expectations.
She was witty and knowledgeable. She shared interesting anecdotes beyond the standard information for each site, but kept it from feeling like a history lesson with little puns, quibs, and jokes throughout.
She was an amazing guide. She was loud, she kept track of everyone. She was great.
