Zoe, our guide, was fabulous!! She was fun and informative. It was a great learning experience for the whole family. Even learned history not taught in school. We are so glad we took this tour with Zoe.

My daughter (14) and I were looking for a short, informative walking tour before we left town on Saturday morning. This was the perfect tour! Also, what a great value for what you get! Our tour was with Donald Watson (who portrayed James Otis). I was a little nervous at first that he didn’t have a microphone, but he did not need it. We had a large group (probably 25 people) and his voice carried over everyone. He also stopped along the way for questions and answered them personally before also announcing the question to the group. Our tour started at the Visitor’s Center in Boston Commons and weaved through Boston to Faneuil Hall. We only had time to go on the 90-minute tour, but it was fantastic. I am a huge Revolutionary War history buff, and this tour crammed lots and lots of facts and sites into only about 1-mile and 90-minutes worth of time. Mr. Watson was very animated and friendly, and definitely appears to love his job as a guide. He didn’t just “tell” the facts, but really brought them to life. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Boston and will book this tour (possibly the longer version) when my family and I visit Boston again in the future.
Don Watson owner and founder of BostonTownCrier Tours has been sharing Boston’s History along the Freedom Trail for over 25 years. Loving every minute. Meeting people from all over the world.
informative and fairly easy walk. The guide is one of the best we have used across the world. Very approachable and believes in his product.
World renowned tour guide James Otis has been giving tours on the Freedom Trail for 25years. Outstanding is the word we hear. BostonTownCrier Tours
We loved the tour guide he was knowledgable and authentic in his 1800's costume. He answered all our questions and gave us great recommendations to continue on the Freedom Trail on our own.
History doesn’t have to be boring. Our Colonial Guides interpret Boston’s History with Passion, Knowledge and with a sense of humor. Best in the business.
Donald is a terrific tour guide! He made the tour go by quickly with interesting stories and a few jokes. I appreciated his communication beforehand to make sure we were booked at the right time and knew where to meet.

Very informative and entertaining. Our guide brought the adventure in the pouring rain totally alive. Really good.
Through rain and shine Sleet and snow Our guides are ready to go. bringing Boston’s History to life
Very informational and historical in nature. Not physically strenuous. Our guide was eager to answer questions and kept the pace of a very large group (40) moving quite smoothly. My only complaint would be with that large of a group, being able to hear clearly was sometimes an issue - given the distance from the guide. Overall, great tour and highly recommended!
