Kenny is the BEST! - Kenny did SUCH an incredible job. It was me and my husband, and he gave us his full attention for almost 3 hours! He had so much knowledge on so many niche topics, and would graciously answer any question we had. He was kind, funny, and full of life. Seriously, cannot recommend him enough! He gave us such a robust understanding of the American Revolution!

We made all 16 stops of the freedom trail and was amazed by how much we didn't know or had wrong! it was fabulous to see some of the places we've heard about all our lives. It was a great price too. Do it you won't be sorry.!

Don’t miss out! It’s very enjoyable and most importantly, an excellent annd important opportunity to learn about Boston. - We had Alfred as a guide and he was absolutely Brilliant. He was so knowledgable but got the perfect balance between imparting information and pacing the trip. He could answer anything we asked and he added a touch of humour which I love. I learned So much as did my cousin I went with. I think we were extremely lucky but judging by the reviews this Company are excellent and demand a High standard. Very enjoyable. A Big Thankyou to Alfred.

Rapid paced walking tour of Boston - The tour guide was very knowledgeable however he could have taken a bit less time in the cemetery as everything else was at a rapid pace, even the younger people where finding it hard to keep up, l have a walking stick and struggled to keep up and missed half of what had been said, that was the same with a few others that were in the same boat.
