Great introduction to Boston! - It was very informative and was a great way to see the Boston Common area. And before and after the tour the area is great for shopping and eating. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and made it entertaining.

Amazing tour - My tour guide was excellent in explaining the history and important things about each place visiting. I wish I remembered his name but I believe he is the Dutch man . I went on a Tuesday afternoon and ended up with a private tour since no one else booked the trip . I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to know how our country got its start

Great tour guide - We took the Tour of the Freedom Trail with Elaina Vrattos Jacobs as the tour guide. She was fabulous! Great tour, easy walk (90 minutes), and Elaina was a fabulous story teller.

Great tour with Samuel Adams (Jeff) - Great tour with a very knowledgeable tour guide, Jeff. Well organized, timely, and easily walkable. So much history in a short amount of time. Well done.

We had a good time - We took an mid-day tour. We learned some new tales and we’re able to see some of our history. Jeff was excellent

Consider An Alternative - Overall I was just not really impressed. The speaker talked a little too fast and was somewhat difficult to understand. To me Boston needs to upgrade the whole freed trail experience. If I were to do it over again, quite honestly, I would download the Boston app and do a self-guided tour myself. That way you could do the freedom trail as well as other Boston points of interest.

Ok - We booked on Viator to see the history of Boston. The booking did not state a time for the tour, but only said that it was open from 9:30 to 4:00. We assumed that the tours form and leave when there are enough people, as some do. We got to the start of the tour at 2:50. No one was there. We called the number on the booking and were told that the tour left at 2:30 but that we could probably catch up with it. We did, but missed the first 1/2 of the tour. The tour guide said he would give us a tour at the end with the things that we missed. He was nice, and knowledgeable. The tour pointed out historical places, but it would have been nice to go inside some places for a brief look to put the dialogue into perspective. When we got to the end of the tour, we asked the tour guide if we would be continuing with some of the things we missed (as he had stated in the beginning). He said, no, he had to go home. It was disappointing. The tour company said that it was not aware that Viator did not put the time of the tour on the booking. This needs to be done.
