Additional Information

We utilize captivating narratives and occasional humor to ENTERTAIN our audience, be they semi-entertained kids, history enthusiasts, sightseers, or residents. We keep the group size to a maximum of 25 attendees for a fun and relaxed experience, not chaotic and overwhelming, while offering ample room for uninhibited laughter. Incorporating ALL 16 LANDMARKS along the Freedom Trail, we ensure you don’t miss any sights while also delving into a handful of more detailed stories. We aim to explain the reasons for the commencement of the American Revolution in Boston, and why we take pride in this city as our residence.

Although the narrative revolves around the American Revolution, our professional guides, mentored by experienced guides and historians, also incorporate entertaining aspects from unexplored areas. Names like Charles Ponzi, Frederick Douglass, and Phillis Wheatley are intertwined with the likes of Hancock, Adams, and Revere, offering something to everyone’s interest.

Freedom Trail Tour with Mark-HIGHLY RECOMMEND - We had such a great guide for our Freedom Trail tour; thank you, Mark! We learned so much and laughed even more. Mark was very animated, thoughtful, and informative. Our tour was on a particularly hot day and our guide made sure to keep us in the shade and as cool as possible. He answered any and all questions, and is an amazing storyteller. A TON of interesting American Revolution history is covered in a short time with as little walking as possible (I think it was about 1.5 miles of walking with many stops in between). I highly recommend this tour for anyone ant any age, as long as you can do a little walking, have any level of interest in American History, and like to be entertained.

Engaging History - We took our teenagers and all learned so much. It was wicked hot but Sean was so engaging and knowledgeable - we didn’t mind. I highly recommend this tour and Sean as a tour guide - you can tell he enjoys what he is doing and his enthusiasm for history kept my kids highly engaged.

A lot of information - The tour was very good. I recommend this one for more adults or history nerds. The tour is two and half hours and there is a lot of information. Our guide was a wealth of knowledge and moved through a variety of stories which included politics, relationships, and nuggets of information. After comparing notes with other people who used another tour guide, we were impressed with how much more information we had than they did.
