Captain Pickles’ Tour is the One to Take! - A+++ Captain Pickles is such a passionate and engaging historian/tour guide. The walking tour was incredible; you’ll learn more from the Captain about the history of Boston and our country’s birth than many of the larger canned tours (including many true-life anecdotes). Informative, mixed with some humor, and incredibly well-researched, this is the tour to take. P.S. Ask Captain Pickles questions and watch him really light up!

He’s the one to book with, folks! Unbelievably good tour. - Folks, of all of the things we did in Boston over the 5 days, Captain Pickles was our favorite. He is not just good at what he does (super informative and entertaining), but he embodies this role. He makes history come so much to life, I wanted to go home and study what he talked about. Sooooo good. Don’t book with anyone else because who you have guide you makes or breaks the whole experience. Pickles is the best. He should be charging more for what he offers! So, so good!
