John Hancock was the best! Great stories, great engagement, a great time. Highly recommend for all!!
Our guide, actor knew so much history that you don’t get in books. He made oft fun and time just flew by. I was worried that there’d be too much walking but there wasn’t and our group had a variety of different people in different shapes so everyone left happy and wanting more!
Super knowledgeable, brought history to live . Lots of passion and enthusiasm for American History His voice was loud and clear and open to questions
Ends pretty far from where it begins, so plan accordingly. Very informative and well paced. It’s mostly downhill which is nice.
The tour was very enjoyable with a knowledgeable and friendly guide “Lafayette”. We are a party of 2 adults and 4 grown kids (18-21) and we all enjoyed it very much. The content was really interesting and well delivered.
Fun and interesting facts; small children bring a stroller. The woman we had was a former HS English teacher and very well spoken.
Ben had great energy and passion telling plenty of historical stories of Boston. Many thanks Ben. Top shelf. 👊
