We had such a good time... - We had such a good time on this tour! Our guide Tracy was amazing, her love of Boston's history was infectious! It was great getting to put the historic buildings and landmarks of Boston in their historical context, it gave us a great perspective of the city during our visit. I highly recommend this tour to anyone in Boston for the first time!

2.5 hrs felt like 20 min with Tracy’s Masterful Storytelling - I was a little weary of booking a 2.5 hr tour, because if it was boring or uninteresting I didn’t want to be tied up that long. Tracy, a retired American History teacher, did a phenomenal and thorough job telling the story of the Rebellion Era, the 15 year span that set the stage for the American Revolution. It was a cold, cloudy and drizzling day but you wouldn’t notice because her storytelling skill was captivating. She is so enthusiastically passionate to represent the characters of the story and painting the backdrop so vividly. 10/10 recommend - a fantastic way to see the 30,000 ft flyover of the history of Boston that you can build a whole other day out of going back to museum stops for a deeper dive.

Fantastic tour! - First, we have to give a shout out to our superb guide, Alejandro. In addition to being a historian with vast knowledge of Boston and American Revolution history, he made the tour even more enjoyable with his warmth and humor. We learned so much during our morning with him. And on this very chilly day he made sure to keep us warm and out of the wind whenever possible. And a bonus, he recommended a fantastic Italian restaurant in the North End following our tour. Overall a great experience.

Nice walk. Lots of history. - I enjoyed the walk but there was just a few things that we stopped to see. It was a lot of verbiage. I wish we could have went inside of some places instead of only walking by them.
