Alan was the perfect tour guide for our group of six women. He was extremely profession, thoughtful, very informative, flexible, easy going and responsible. I highly recommend him for your next tour. Alan’s love and knowledge for Boston is impressive. I love Boston now too.
Thank you so much! I enjoyed sharing my Boston with all of you and happy that you love Boston now too.
I recommend this tour! Alan was a very knowledgeable and engaging guide. He gave us some fun, random facts, adjusted his presentation to our interests, was very flexible and spoke to our whole group. We had 12 family members ranging from 55 to 8 years old with varying degrees of interest and he made sure everyone got something they enjoyed and even was happy to be our photographer! Highly recommend using Alan & Citywalks!
Thanks so much! You have a great family that made it easy and fun for me too.
Alan was a pleasure to work with while setting up the event on last minute's notice. He was a great source of knowledge and the team had an absolutely lovely time. I would highly recommend anyone visiting Boston to ask for him : ) Thank you for having him as part of your team!
Thank you so much! I must say it was easy to make it work for you. Glad everybody had a lovely time!
Allen was very knowledgeable and patient with our very large family with young kids. He did a great job of keeping the childrens interest
Very informative and fun. Lots of good details and gossip past and present. A good mix of history for all ages.
Not sure about what gossip you heard but glad you enjoyed the tour.
The walking tour with Alan was one of the best parts of our Boston trip. He was so knowledgeable, pleasant, funny & kind. Alan made our day/trip. We will definitely recommend our friends & family for the tour whenever they visit Boston.
It was a pleasure to share my Boston with you. You made it easy and enjoyable for me as well.
Very good guide. Worked very well young children. Knew his history extremely well. Pace was perfect. Showed some things that group tours would never see. Very likeable and friendly guide. Willing to adjust to our schedule because we were a bit late getting to meeting point. Also very willing to adjust meeting point to make it easy for us to park. Highly recommend the tou and our guide.
My teenagers are not particularly interested in Boston history. We booked a private tour with Alan from Boston Citywalks. Despite my less than engaged teenagers who were on the heels of two college tours that day, Alan made the tour fascinating enough to keep them engaged for more than two hours. They learned more about American and Boston history in those two hours than they would have in weeks of staring at a history book. Alan is a true historian, loves what he does, and does it well.
Enjoyed seeing sites as we walked Boston. Did the tour of Fanieul Hall which was fascinating to me as i love history. Especially the meeting hall where "sons of Liberty" met with zsam Adams John Adams and other like them. To stand in the same place. Must tour the 3rd floor museum too. Enjoyed Quincy Market and had fun at the "Cheers"bar next to Quincy market. Had a glass of champaign with my sister. Enjoyed aeeing the memorial to Holocaust! On the walking tour too. Such a great pkace to visit. History at ecery turn just wish I'd had time to do much much more.
It was over 90 degrees on the day of our walking tour but it was fab. Our guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic and was well aware of the temperature so kept us in the shade when she could. We went through the park with the ducks and to the market. It was a lovely place and quite green and clean. We had a sit down in a church ( possibly ) where the Declaration of Independence was read out. Walked through a graveyard but it was a super few hours. Would recommend a walking tour of this city all day long. Would love to spend more time here.
