Excellent tour of Boston Marathon Route and Fenway! The guide was really informative about the history of the Boston Marathon as well as current facts! I learned a lot about the race as well as Fenway Park. Kat knows her stuff!

We actually had a “private” tour with Kat. It was great. She is so knowledgeable about Boston itself and knew so much more about the marathon, the bombing, and finally Fenway. So interesting I think we would actually go again.
We had the privilege of taking into our directly with the creater of this business! Nothing better than getting your information from the best. Kat lead an excellent tourt hat was just the right amount of walking and stops. The expectation set in the description was extremely accurate and the starting point was easy to find and we finished exactly where she said we would. As an avid runner, I felt like I knew everything there was to know about the Boston Marathon, but she shares with you so much history and local stories that everyone will walk away with something new! It also seamlessly ventured into the history of baseball in Boston. I would absolutely recommend this for any sports fan!
Kat was brilliant. From start to finish she told the story of the Boston marathon and Fenway Park with genuine passion and deep knowledge. She has a friendly warmth and she engages eagerly with each participant. She brings personal insight which is invaluable. One of the best tours I have been on anywhere.
Our guide was very knowledgeable and super friendly!!
Kat was a fantastic tour guide. Not your average sports tour, we learned so much about the Marathon and Fenway! Would highly recommend to any sports fans!
The pre tour preparation was detailed, frequent and welcome. Kat was totally focused on us knowing and understanding the presentations she had for the Boston marathon and other sports familiar to Boston. She was well versed in the history of sports events and made them interesting. She was exceptionally easy to listen to and was also easy on the eyes. Very engaging personality and full of energy.
Tour was great. A few of my buddies and I came into town for a Red Sox game and decided to do this tour. Kat is a certified public historian. It’s one of the main reasons we decided to go with her rather than some random tour. Thank you!!!
Kat was a great tour guide, very passionate! Even though we already knew a lot of Red Sox history, we learned a lot more interesting fun facts. The Boston marathon piece of the tour was really interesting to me. I had little knowledge of or appreciation for the event before, but really found it fascinating. Great tour!
Our family had a wonderful tour with Kat as our guide. It was very informative and provided lots of historical details which we appreciated. Our kids enjoyed it as well! Kat did a wonderful job with engaging them by letting them guess answers to questions relating to the tour which made it interactive. We truly enjoyed and highly recommend this tour!
