Freedom Trial Fun - Brian was an incredible tour guide. Informative and entertaining, he brought the Freedom Trail to life for us. Throughout the journey, there were random passersby leaning in to learn from his enthusiasm and insight into the history of Boston. From the 54th Regiment Memorial (the sword is rubber!) to the Granary’s Franklin Memorial (Ben’s not there), we can’t recommend his services enough.

United States history begins here! - Birthplace of the revolution with a spectacular guide! You can't ask for more when you book with Tours by foot. I've gone on their tours in several cities and they never disappoint. The guide was great too, knowledgeable with a fabulous sense of humor. Made the tour feel educational and entertaining!

Walking Through American History - As a historian, I am keen to take walking tours because there is always something new to learn, and this tour of the Freedom Trail did not disappoint! The guide was not only knowledgeable, but also added "fun facts" and humor about colonial figures, both well known and more obscure, which made his storytelling come alive. He was also happy to answer all of our questions, even encouraging them along the way. If you're in Boston, take this tour! You will feel like you're walking back in time!

Fun, smart guide brought so much American history to life! - I enjoyed this tour so much! As someone who knows quite a bit about American History, I was pleasantly surprised at how much I learned that I didn't already know. The guide was so knowledgeable, but also funny. It wasn't the kind of tour where you are listening to a guide drone on and on with facts. He shared anecdotes that brought the history to life. I was traveling alone which was one reason I decided to take a tour. It’s nice to spend time with people rather than have my nose in a guidebook. The guide made sure to make me feel included and part of the small group. Overall, highly recommended!
