Wicked Interesting

This tour was fun and very interesting. I’m from the Boston area and wanted to see what I was missing so I decided to see what visitors got to experience. I learned a lot about some of the big players in the American revolution. We probably walked about a mile total during the tour. Zoey was an awesome guide ! Very knowledgeable, friendly, passionate and friendly ! Highly recommended !

Good stops but guide has opportunities

The stops were good. The guide seemed nervous, easily distracted, couldn’t complete sentence without taking sips of water and kept forgetting where she left off after being distracted. Said she had been doing these tours for 2 years but seemed like her first time. Was hoping for a better experience

Operator response

Heat wave in Boston . Guides drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration. This guide is a Historian doing tours for years.

Brief but educational tour of important sites.

Our Guide “The Towne Crier” was excellent and showed us the most popular sites on the Freedom Trail. He really knew his history and made it entertaining as well. For us the 1-1/2 hour tour was just enough because we had a North End tour right afterward. It started at the Boston Common and ended at Faneuil Hall. It didn’t include going inside anything but that was fine with us for this visit. I learned a lot that I should have known by now. It was a good price for the 1-1/2 hour tour and was worth it. Highly recommend!
