Great overview of Boston history - If you are a history buff, this is this tour for you! Much nicer to tour around in a small group and not have a bunch of people to content with... and a guid that is shouting. It was a great, personal experience.

Wicked Excellent! - We completely adored Paulie, along with his enthusiasm for Boston and it’s incredible history. He is personable, with a great sense of humor and loves sharing his knowledge. The tour length was perfect and covered enough for a good overview of important moments pertaining to the revolution. We had a true small group experience with only 4 of us, making it that much more enjoyable. Thanks to Paulie and Father and Son Tours. 🤗

So worth the money! - We had a wonderful tour with Paulie. He was filled with so much knowledge he knew Boston like the back of his hand. My husband and I love history so we had many questions to which he had many answers. We enjoyed all the things that were shared. There were things that we were unawares that he told us. Also he offered to take a picture of us at Paul Revere's statue and gave us some info about restaurants. Paulie has a charm about him which made the tour delightful. We highly recommend the tour! Hopefully you have a beautiful day like we did with a wonderful Breeze to keep everyone a little cooler on a nice summer walk about.
