10 years in Boston and I still learned a ton of stuff - Chantha was our tour guide and he was great. We have lived in Boston for over 10 years and were hosting family so we scheduled this walking tour and everyone had fun. Even though I’ve done several other tours already over the years, about 70% of what Chantha told us I never knew before. He made it really interesting and fun. He was also very accommodating for those in our group who needed multiple bathroom breaks. I would definitely request him if you can.

Best Tour Guide in Boston - Mr Larry Vale was a pleasure to be with on our Tour of Boston. This was a private Tour he gave for the two of us. We appreciated so much not only his wonderful knowledge of Revolutionary Boston but his quiet manner, cheerfulness and his most presentable, conservative attractive self. He never failed to be interesting and made sure our four hour tour covered a varied Boston history including a nearly never visited Faneuil fourth floor ceremonial military museum. We stopped off for a sampling of oysters at our country’s oldest and operating restaurant the Union House Oyster Bar and he could not have been more engaging and thorough. We HIGHLY recommend his good company!

A torrent of facts. - What a terrific tour! Conner was non stop with historical facts and local sightseeing recommendations. His knowledge ran deep by virtue of his answers to our questions, be they historical or current in nature. We know much more American history than when we woke up today - so proud of our founding Patriots.
