Amazing tour - My tour guide was excellent in explaining the history and important things about each place visiting. I wish I remembered his name but I believe he is the Dutch man . I went on a Tuesday afternoon and ended up with a private tour since no one else booked the trip . I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to know how our country got its start

Great tour guide - We took the Tour of the Freedom Trail with Elaina Vrattos Jacobs as the tour guide. She was fabulous! Great tour, easy walk (90 minutes), and Elaina was a fabulous story teller.

Consider An Alternative - Overall I was just not really impressed. The speaker talked a little too fast and was somewhat difficult to understand. To me Boston needs to upgrade the whole freed trail experience. If I were to do it over again, quite honestly, I would download the Boston app and do a self-guided tour myself. That way you could do the freedom trail as well as other Boston points of interest.
