This experience was all I hoped for! Having walked the Freedom Trail several times in the past without a guide, I really wanted to get a more detailed story and thought a costumed guide would be super fun. It was absolutely perfect! I could have listened to the guide all day, learning some details I had not heard before, as well as getting an excellent overall summary of the events in Boston leading to the Revolution. I would highly recommend this experience and would do it again!
Great tour. Just wished we would have at least finished at the Old North Church. Guide was great. Very knowledgeable about the histoty.
Great tour! Enjoyed the history and our guide was very knowledgeable. Definitely recommend to see the history of Boston!
Tour guide Ben was engaging, entertaining and led us on a great historic tour of the freedom trail. Would go again!
OH. MY. GOSH. The tour was awesome, but Ben, dressed in period clothing with a British accent, made the experience unforgettable. He shared numerous historical facts and side stories with a sense of humor and a bit of flare. Don't miss this tour!
Not too much walking full of information costumes look pretty good too 30 more words needed so I just kept talking
The tour was very interesting & entertaining, but our guide Ben made it EXTREMELY enjoyable. As we passed other tours you’d catch a snippet of what the other guides were saying…no comparison to Ben.
Our guide Jeremiah Poope was great! He was very knowledgable and funny!
Aaron was an extremely entertaining tour guide who brought US history to life. We all loved this tour--including my kids in high school and college. He was very funny and a great storyteller. I was worried the tour would be "cringe" to quote my kids, but they loved it.
We loved the tour!!! "John Hancock" was our tour guide and did a wonderful job of being informative and entertaining. I definitely recommend this tour for both the young and the old!!!
