Great tour despite the cold! - We knew it would be cold coming into the tour so we were prepared with the right clothes which made it bearable. I imagine it would be even better in nice weather but we still all had only good things to say. Our tour guide Al was amazing and we came away with so many tidbits from him. He was also great with the kids in the group.

Great tour - Our tour guide was AWESOME. He went out of his way to accommodate us when we got lost on our way to the meeting location. The tour was great, he was informative, and funny.

Truly enjoyable history lesson of Boston - Steven was our guide on this free walking tour through Boston. He told the history in such a lively way, it was a true pleasure to listen to him. I learned a lot and enjoyed the full two hours.

Great tour! - Our tour guide was very patient and informative. He took us on a great small group tour. It was easy to participate and felt very right. Be warned, we stayed at the Eliot, and we ran late to the tour because of street closures for a neighborhood race that morning- so plan to arrive early! This is a great tour to take to learn about the history of Boston.

Check the weather - The tour guide was very knowledgeable and engaging. I learned a lot and enjoyed the history. The weather was not favorable and there was a protest going on in the Boston Common at the end of tour. Obviously these elements were out of the tour guides control.

Good but limited. - Informative and easy walk. Didn’t feel like we hit some of important sites like North Church. Guess I didn’t get the difference between the Freedom Trail and the Revolutionary tour.

Nice older man. Terrible guide. - Terrible tour guide. Older gentleman who simply didn’t speak very loud and didn’t give a lot of information. The group had a kid from kindergarten and he repeatedly would ask him question's. Couldn’t wait for it to be over and would have been better with no tour. We repeatedly had other tours near us and their guides were a far better source of information for me than our guide.

Terrible - It was raining and the guide went inside the building so we couldn’t find him in the meeting place so we started late. He explain us about some places in a corner but did not took us to them. He took us to Walgreens ti make them do Sushi it was ridiculous. I was expecting to learn some history and dis not learn nothing.
