The cemetery! - What a wonderful experience to learn history! It was very informative. Our guide was memorable and made it fun. I learned a lot about Boston’s history that my 4th grade teacher didn’t explain.

Phyllis Wheatley was my tour guide… excellent tour! - My guide was Phyllis Wheatley, and she was great! Not only was she articulate and intelligent, but she was funny too! I purchase my tour at the Boston Commons Visitor Center and met her and the rest of the group outside. It was a lovely day, and we learned so much while also having a great time. There were all ages on our tour, and we got to ask lots of questions. It was really fun!

Amazing! - We took a tour with Ben. It was the best and most informative walking tour we have ever taken. Ben was the most dynamic, interesting, enthusiastic and knowledgeable tour guide we have ever had on any tour. He was funny as well and everyone around us was having a great time listening to him. I felt like we lucked out having him as our tour guide. We all learned a lot of information and new facts that made this tour so great. Would recommend to everyone and do it again. Ben you were totally incredible. Your personality and love for history added realism and true character to the tour. Really enjoyed.

Two hour Boston History Tour - We had the pleasure of Elaina as our tour guide aka ‘Mother Goose!’ MG was informative, witty, knowledgable and passionate in her role! The tour lasted two hours and covered the essential parts of The Freedom Trail. You left a more informed visitor to Boston and appreciative of the founding fathers of this city and nation. The arrangements were straightforward and the tour well worth the money!

BEN IS AMAZING!!!! - As a first-time visitor to Boston attending a teacher conference, I decided to embark on the Freedom Trail tour, and it turned out to be a highlight of my trip. Our tour guide, Ben, was nothing short of exceptional. His passion for American history was infectious, and he had a knack for bringing the past to life with vivid storytelling. Ben's deep knowledge of the Revolutionary War era and the key figures involved was truly impressive. He effortlessly wove historical facts with personal anecdotes, making the tour both informative and engaging. Whether discussing the Boston Massacre or the significance of Paul Revere's ride, Ben's enthusiasm was contagious, leaving me eager to learn more. His ability to connect the historical events to contemporary issues further enriched the experience. I left the tour feeling inspired and with a newfound appreciation for the sacrifices made by our nation's founders. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour with BEN!!! I would also recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes and bringing a thick jacket and gloves if visiting during the winter time.
