    What a great tour! Our tour guide Lin made it so interesting with all the stories and facts about Boston history. Three hours went by in a flash. We started at the Boston Common and ended at Copp’s Hill Terrace. She spoke clearly and had a microphone that made listening to her a breeze. It was great to refresh our knowledge and learn many new things about Boston. Highly recommended!

    Less than a 5 minute walk from our Pierce Boston apartment. Such an interesting 1 hour tour about Red Sox baseball history, even if you know nothing about American baseball. Our guide was so knowledgeable and although the stadium does involve quite a lot of stairs it's well worth it to see how this stadium has evolved and become what it is today.

    This tour was fantastic and one of the highlights of our entire Boston vacation! Our guide, Gabriel Graetz was personable, informed, courteous and fun! He made the tour memorable!
    Gabe knew the history and back stories of each and every stop, he took care of us and guided us and made the tour feel like we were spending an afternoon exploring with friends. Totally loved it!

    Great activity while exploring Boston-Cambridge.
    The guide was very good and overall very interesting. Very good for an outsider to approach to its culture and special camaradery

    The only issue is we were charged for a 5 year old kid almost the same as an adult . Asking for a refund has been a cumbersome process

    We had the GREAT fortune of having Tyler show us how the seeds of Liberty were planted and watered on the historical Freedom Trail. Tyler was a man with immense knowledge and really expounded upon not just the person and events but the context of the history around it. Take your kids out of school and drop them on this tour, I promise they will learn more on this walk. My teenage sons had a great time and I am so glad we took this tour.

    Best tour experience we had on our week stay in Boston. Owner/Tour Guide was an excellent storyteller giving background and context for each site viewed. He brought the history of area alive. Wish I had him for my history teacher growing up. I would highly recommend this tour and tour company to all visitors.

    Debra, our tour guide was nothing short of amazing. Humor, history and delicious nibbles along the way. We could not think of a better way to experience the essence of Boston's North End.

    Arielle was incredible. My wife and I had such a crazy cool time learning neat facts. We were the only couple (mid week and cold) but this was absolutely a high point of our trip to Boston. Beyond standard stuff, Arielle had all sorts of fun facts beyond a normal tour and we ended up talking all sorts of Boston things, got fantastic recommendations on food and general tourist stuff.
    Do this and request a day Arielle is doing the tour!

    We enjoyed a cold day in Boston on this walking tour which was a perfect mix of seafood and history - just as described. Our guide, Lexie, was fun and knowledgeable. And she provided us with great recommendations for enjoying our stay in Boston.
