Fun and interesting. - Jeremiah Poope was an excellent guide! An informative tour of the freedom trail. I would highly recommend as you learn far more about the historical sites this way than you would on your own.

A great way to experience history! - A fantastic way to learn about some key historic sites in Boston. Our guide, Jeremiah Poope was wonderful. In period attire, he kept a large group of tourists engaged for almost 2 hours with his knowledge of history, fun facts, and trivia. I didn’t know what to expect, my family and I really had an enjoyable time. This is an easy walk in great weather. I’d recommend this tour to anyone in Boston for the first time.

Wonderful and energetic tour through history - Mother Goose was our tour guide and she did an excellent job keeping us (and the entire group) interested and engaged. I wanted a tour that would go through the history my daughter learned in school and Elena / Mother Goose delivered that and more! We passed other tours on our way and every time I was soooo happy that we picked this tour and that we got the guide we did. Her enthusiasm and knowledge of the history was top notch. I can’t speak highly enough of the entire experience. It was totally worth the price. If there was one thing I wanted to do while in Boston, it was to take a tour like this and I’m so glad we did. Do yourself a favor and choose this tour!
