Enjoying the Freedom Trail and Boston’s best sights and stories - Had an incredible experience with our tour guide, Rob Crean, learning so much about Boston’s history and enjoying the classic tales as well as a few outlandish ones. An absolute MUST-Do tour if you are in Boston for an afternoon and want to know more about our country’s founding fathers and why Charles Dickens probably hates Mexican food now!!! 🤣

Freedom Trail Tour - It was awful!! Too many tours going on simultaneously, docent didn’t have a mic, could heat him over other tour guides with mics and construction going on. Don’t waste your money!!!!
