Great experience learning about Boston pre-revolutionary War.
Great experience. Our guide was friendly, passionate and knowledge about Boston and early American history. The pace was just right - it moved along but we didn't feel rushed.

Wonderful Tour
Our guide was Allison. She was simply amazing. She gave us the gift of being our guide on her birthday! She listened to us and crafted the highlights around our wishes. We had a marvelous tour of the city, the liberty trail. Excellent individual stops at parks, bookstore, coffeehouse, amazing photo positioning. She is a masterful storyteller and the entire experience was so worth the time and the fees. If you are in the area ASK FOR ALLISON
