Unforgettable Step Back in Time!! - This was an amazing experience and one we won’t forget. Ira is so knowledgeable and interesting the time flew by! He had pictures of the sights we were seeing from the past days in history so you could get a feel what it all looked like that long ago and so many interesting facts and stories!! I would recommend Ira to anyone who wants to get an amazing tour and have a great time !!

A must do when in Boston! - The walking tour with Ira was absolutely fantastic! This is a must do when in Boston! My parents and I did a private tour and agreed it was the highlight of our trip. It was multi-dimensional, historical, engaging, educational, and funny all at once. We truly can't recommend it highly enough!

Great value and experience - Ira is knowledgeable and engaging. I was so glad I decided to start my trip in Boston with his tour. He plans great stops and anecdotes as you explore some of the top sites in Boston. Along the way you pass by much larger, less personal tour experiences. Book with Ira, the small group environment is much preferable and he's a fantastic guide.

Enjoyable educational tour - Nice storyteller in a super small group (5 total) and fabulous headphones so we could hear everything. Even my teenage daughters enjoyed it!

Fantastic resource!! - Having spent the previous day traveling and knowing our next few days would be in conference, we chose the walking tour and it exceeded our expectations. Ira was personable, knowledgeable, and
experienced. He offered ear buds to help us hear him, he gifted us with a specialty treat, and helped us to see Boston then and now through the use of relevant before pics compared with what we saw in person. You definitely want to take his tour!!

Amazing/Insightful walking tour of Boston - Ira's tour far exceeded my group's expectations. Ira has a deep knowledge of Boston's history and architecture. The tour lasts for approx 2.5 hours and Ira was easily able to fill the duration with interesting stories and information as we walked past Boston's most iconic/historic sites. He also brings an Ipad to show photos of what some of the sites looked like years ago. Lastly, the group size is max 7 which is perfect as it ensures a more personal/intimate tour!

Best walking tour of Boston - Born and raised in Boston, I finally decided to go on a walking tour with my boyfriend who was visiting for the first time. I only wish I had done it sooner! Ira was incredible, with so many details, facts, and stories that were new to me. The route was great and he gives you recommendations for restaurants and other things to do. Each person gets a head set so you can hear him clearly. 100% recommend!! Do it!

Personable, knowledgeable, and fun! - Ira did not disappoint. Great tour, very personable and knowledgeable. So glad I saw beacon hill, parts of the freedom trail, the Boston commons and botanical garden with Ira - there were so many gems he showed and educated us with along the way. Ira also knew many members of the community so it was a great was to interact with the people of Boston itself. Ira took the extra steps to make our time with him memorable. Would 100% do again!
