Great tour guide/tour group very large

The tour guide and route were excellent but too many people on one tour time made it hard to hear in many places and to stay together as a family.

Operator response

We cap our tours at 40 No too many people. We encourage those that don’t hear very well to get up front. Our guides are the best in the business.

Freedom tour with kids

I would highly recommend this tour! Our guide was very knowledgeable and a history teacher who was very good at keeping our kids (9&13) engaged. He kept a good pace and stopped frequently in shady spots. He lots of interesting details but drone on like some of the other guides we encountered. The 90 minute tour with 11 stops was really a perfect length for us, but if you wanted to see the other 5 sites, the guide gave advice on how to get to those on your own. If you are looking for a shorter version to do with your kids, I recommend this one!

Took this tour on the 4th, middle of a heat wave and soooo many people! Man, I’m so glad we did!!! Our tour guide was AMAZING!!!! Always trust the teachers to be able to hook the teenagers, along with the rest of us! Great info, just the right length and distance for anyone! Would highly recommend! My hubs walked out with all sorts of good new trivia, Thank you for the time, effort, and not easy work on the 4th!!!

Wicked Interesting

This tour was fun and very interesting. I’m from the Boston area and wanted to see what I was missing so I decided to see what visitors got to experience. I learned a lot about some of the big players in the American revolution. We probably walked about a mile total during the tour. Zoey was an awesome guide ! Very knowledgeable, friendly, passionate and friendly ! Highly recommended !
