Overview

Great
Jennifer was a North Boston native. It felt like an old friend was showing us her neighborhood… nice personal touch!

We lucked out and had our guide, Alex, all to ourselves. She paced the tour appropriately and gave interesting, insightful, and thorough explanations at each of the major landmarks along the freedom trail. Watching the other tours of 30-40 people trudge past the three of us made us very happy that we had such a special experience. Alex brought enthusiasm and style to her storytelling. Would highly recommend this tour experience. While we also booked 2 other experiences in Boston, we felt this was the most comprehensive and up close connection to the historical Boston experience.

Our Freedom Trail tour with Alex was fantastic. The rain was torrential and didn't ease up until near the end of the tour but Alex smiled her way through it all and gave us the best experience possible. It's very easy to walk the Trail yourself as you just follow a red line set into the roads and pavements but being on the tour made it 1000 times better. Without Alex we would have missed most of the important parts and hearing the stories and insights really brought the history to life. Even my daughter, who doesn't really enjoy history, found the tour interesting and informative.

The tour guide was very knowledgeable and able to share important facts about the freedom trail and any additional question I asked. I highly recommend this company, instruction on where to meet were clear, started on time, and a great value for the length of the tour. A must do in Boston!

Liked distinctions made between common assumptions and actual history. Liked route that skipped last 3 sites that would have made it a much longer walk. Liked going into Old North Church, though it wasted time waiting for a docent because they were understaffed. Really appreciated guide's willingness to offer information on local eateries and provide directions to subway routes. It rained for about half of our tour but we had raincoats and umbrella and it didn't interfere any.
