Great Tour, Great Guide - My husband and I took the Freedom Trail tour the day after the Celtics victory parade—our guide, Adrian, was patient and flexible with the noisy interruptions by clean-up crews/street sweeping. He gave an excellent tour and we learned so much about Boston. Near the end of the tour Adrian handled an annoying heckler with composure and enough firmness to get him to leave the group alone. Adrian did an excellent job and I would definitely recommend this tour!

Good experience, comes highly recommended from two seaoned travelers - Very good way to get a great overview of many important parts of the Freedom Trail. Our guide David Stolton (aka Benjamin Eads) was knowledgeable, and had a good sense of humor, with great advice on other things to do, which we followed like a script and enjoyed the entire day thoroughly. We are very seasoned travelers and sometimes a walking tour like this is the best way to get acquainted with an area quickly.

Good history tour of Boston - Our tour guide, “Mrs Lafayette” was very good. She knew a lot of Boston history. The Celtics parade was happening and she did her best to talk over the crowds

Historic Boaston - Well informed guide who brought the tour to life, the only negative we encountered was the large number of tours walking around the cemetery trying to avoid each other!

No show tour guide - Scheduled tour and no one was there. I sent a communication to the guide and no one answered. I contacted Viator and they couldn’t get in contact with the guide but would not refund my payment. I was told to wait for 30 more minutes and call back. Terrible customer service. Would not recommend or use again.
