Took the review on July 3rd. The temp was about 100. Our tour guide Ben was incredible. He was kind, generous of spirit, very knowledgeable and quite entertaining. The heat did not affect his effort in any way. I would highly recommend the tour to anyone that is even remotely interested in History. Highly informative, very entertaining and all in all a wonderful tour. The only thing I would change would be to limit the size of the group. Our group was quite large, and if you weren’t careful you might miss some of what Ben was saying.
Mark was an exceptional tour guide. It was fun, informative, funny, well paced and truly a top tier tour. He helped make my trip with my partner extra special. Highly recommend.
Very knowledgeable engaging tour guide ( actual professional actor Neil ) However the group was very big ( at least 50 people) We struggled to hear
We did this today on July 4th which made it even more special. Ben was fabulous!! He was so fun and funny and warm and knowledgeable. It was a must do!!!!
Ben was great! He was dressed and acted the part while keeping it entertaining.
This was one of the best and enjoyable walking tours we’ve ever done! Ben was phenomenal and so engaging! He made the walk even more memorable and interesting! Absolutely worth every penny, even with the horrible heat we endured during the walk!! Highly, highly recommend!!
We loved the tour! Catherine was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about our American history. This was the perfect way to start our Independence Day weekend celebrating our nation's 250th birthday! Thank you for making this so memorable! Chris and Craig
Ben is a phenomenal actor//tour guide. Brought history to life!! You want Ben…
Great information from Elaina. I felt the information was much more interesting listening to it from her point of view vs listening via audio tour. Elaina was very clear and articulate about her passion for her job. Loved it!
Our guide was fantastic! One of the best guides I’ve ever had. The heat was unbearable and I went, planning to peel off early but because of his amazingly entertaining and informative stories- I stayed the entire time and was late for the Red Sox game!!! He made sure we found shade in the 95!degree heat- all the while he was dressed in his woolen costume!!! There were 3 young boys- ages 9-13 - who were totally engaged because of this guide. Bravo! Bravo!
