Good Beer, Great Times - This was a fun way to learn more about the history of Boston. Ariel was so knowledgeable and so personable! And the beer was fantastic! It was great to try some beers from Samuel Adams that are only available in Boston, but that’s also a negative because we loved two of the beers and know we won’t be able to get them at home!

Very happy we made this short trip. - We have enjoyed being able to walk to most places. The pub crawl was fun. We enjoyed the Boston tea party and their gift shop was very reasonable. The citizen M hotel is very nice as well.

Great time with Family and New Friends! - Booked this tour for myself and my parents who are in their 70's and it was an absolute blast! Our tour guide, Arielle, was friendly, knowledgeable, and funny in her telling of the history of Boston and a truly great guide! Boston Crawling knows what it's doing hiring people like her. Everyone on our tour was so fun that we even all ended up staying at one of the bars longer and doing karaoke together post. All in all a great night for everyone involved. Would highly recommend this tour for people of all ages and interests!

A great time was had by all! - The tour was amazing. The leader was able to get us in to each venue despite it being Patriot’s Day and the end of the marathon! He handled everything with finesse and humor! He was very knowledgeable and shared info in a way we would remember!
